Good evening fellow classmates and Professor, my name is I’tanisha Lewis and I do allow most people to call me Nisha due to a lot of people mispronouncing my name. I was born in Philadelphia, raised in the South Bronx and the third oldest of six siblings and a mother of two pretty amazing kids. I enjoy quality time with my family, yoga, meditating, watching YouTube to learn how to maintain my naturality of my hair, watching the ID channel, Chopped, non-fiction and fiction movies and online shopping. I am almost sure this is the last year of school for me as I am working on obtaining my Associate’s in Early Childhood Education.

I currently started working at the DOE as a Subpara which is pretty challenging, challenging meaning the bouncing around from different classes, but have worked with some amazing children so far. My ultimate goal is to continue my education at Hunter College after I graduate and to become a full-time Paraprofessional with the DOE. I hope to learn more about sexuality and culture, overall, just how women are overlooked when it comes to certain things, listening to different views and opinions from my peers in class while sharing my own and have a better understanding of thw course.
