About

Racquel Nunley Ph.D.(c)

Auntie Roc

Hello, just a little about me. With more than a decade of dedicated service to marginalized communities, my journey within the non-profit sector has been purposeful and impactful. I have passionately contributed to various causes such as anti-human trafficking, prison reform, improving the lives of high-risk youth in both Southern & Northern California, and high-poverty/low-performing schools in urban communities.

My focus is on advocating for equal education opportunities for Black students in America through effective engagement with parents. As a Ph.D. candidate specializing in Parent Engagement and equipped with a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership, I possess the qualifications to make a substantial impact in this area.

On the other hand. I am a person of deep faith. My family and friends hold a central place in my life. I have a contagious laugh that brings joy to those around me, I hope. As a passionate food and travel enthusiast, I love exploring new food experiences and embarking on exciting journeys to different corners of the world.

Confession time: When the right kind of music starts, my inner Teyona Taylor emerges. In quieter moments, you'll find me happily crocheting (#fiberartistrock). My love for basketball runs deep. Fashion and music are my friends.
