Shamoyia Gardiner is the executive director of Strong Schools Maryland. Shamoyia is a first-generation American, first-generation college graduate from Miami. Due in part to her identities and experiences as a former educator, she’s determined that life is best spent working at the intersection of education, advocacy, and youth development.
Since its inception in 2017, Strong Schools Maryland has built a sprawling network of tens of thousands of individual grassroots supporters focused on securing the 2020 passage and 2021 veto override of the Blueprint for Maryland's Future, a law dedicating financial resources and critical policies to create a world-class system of public education in the state of Maryland.
Without further introduction, I give you Shamoyia Gardiner.
