Jamayka works to uplift the voices of community members across the country with the goal of reaching the right people, with the right message, where they are to drive change at every level in support of students and schools.

Stand’s mission of making every classroom a safe, welcoming environment for all students regardless of background connects with Jamayka’s deep passion for social justice, developed through their own experiences as a proud product of Title I South Jersey public schools.

Before Stand, Jamayka worked as a Writing Fellow at the Institute for Diversity in the Arts, working at the intersection of creative writing and social justice.
