Nikita Simmons-Bush

"Mama Nikita" as she is called in her community, is a wife, mother, community builder and educator. She was born in southwest Georgia, into a family of educators, and spent most of her childhood in Newark, New Jersey, then returned to Georgia to attend Spelman College in 1993.

​

Teaching and working creatively with young people has always been her heart's desire. Over the past 27 years, Nikita has directed summer camp and after school enrichment programs for inner-city youth, taught elementary grades in Atlanta Public Schools, facilitated cultural arts enrichment programs, published an Afrikan-centered language arts workbook, and successfully home schooled her own children and other youth in her community!

​

Each One Teach One Home School and Collective was born out of Nikita's desire to have a special place for children to learn and grow: a place that is loving like home, enriching to the mind, body and spirit, Afrikan-centered, supportive of a  multitude of intelligences and learning styles, creative, community based and fun!
