Timberly Wilson is a passionate, altruistic servant leader boasting over 20 years of invaluable experience in bolstering educational opportunities for underserved communities of color within both the New York and Georgia Public School systems.
Hailing from the vibrant backdrop of New York City, Timberly’s journey led her to Atlanta, Georgia, where she embarked on her academic pursuits at Clark Atlanta University (CAU). A trailblazer in her own right, she emerged as a first-generation college graduate from Georgia State University, where she earned both her Bachelor of Science and Masters degrees in Urban Teacher Leadership.
Timberly’s professional trajectory is marked by a steadfast commitment to fostering excellence in teaching and learning. For over a decade, she honed her craft as a middle school English/Language Arts educator in the Georgia Public Schools, crafting innovative curricula and assuming various leadership roles. Continuously seeking to elevate her instructional acumen, she pursued further studies, attaining an Educational Specialist Degree in Curriculum & Instruction from Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, TN.
Driven by a desire to effect meaningful change, Timberly returned to her roots in New York City, where she assumed the pivotal role of Instructional Coach at the Harlem Children’s Zone Promise Academy JHS I. Swiftly ascending the ranks, she held successive leadership positions, culminating in her current role as the Executive Director of Great Oaks Charter NYC (GO-NYC). Under her visionary leadership, student achievement in Reading/ELA has soared beyond district and state averages, while notable strides have been made in closing the achievement gap in mathematics.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Timberly cherishes precious moments with her three children—her eldest daughter and two sons, aged 26, 23, and 16 respectively—alongside cherished extended family and friends. A dedicated advocate for positive change, Timberly actively contributes to her community as a member of Brooklyn Community Board 3, lending her expertise to the Education & Youth Services and Housing & Land Use committees.
In her leisure time, Timberly finds solace in travel and prioritizes self-care, championing practices that promote the holistic well-being of women who often place the needs of others before their own. Through her unwavering dedication and tireless advocacy, Timberly Wilson embodies the transformative power of education and service, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of those she touches.
I am Benedicta Vindiba Daplah, creative and talented Ghanaian fashion designer who believes that designing is not only about creating beautiful visuals but also about solving problems, from the age 10 I have always wanted to be a fashion designer, I used to make dolls for my friends, I could use my mom’s old singer sewing machine to make clothes and alter my own clothes if I didn’t like how they looked, so I started my journey of becoming a fashion designer. I attended one of the best fashion schools in Ghana, showcased my designs on big platforms here in Ghana and that was how Vindiba became a household name, I believe in sustainable fashion.
