About the Presenters
Camella Cooper
Growing up in South Central LA, so many students considered college but didn’t have a guide to support them through the whole process… I understand the pressures of high school and generational trauma that prevents African American young people to achieve their educational goals and I look to elevate and support them in their journey.

As Program Manager with Families In Schools, I am committed to providing families the tools and resources to enable them to reach their educational goals. The time you take to invest in a family by providing valuable information, can make a world of difference to the academic success of their children.

I believe in the transformative power of education, and education as a force to combat poverty and injustice. As a first-generation college student, my passion is in supporting under-represented and communities of color to achieve career success and higher education.
