I’m Lakisha Ball — teacher, literacy advocate, consultant, and someone who believes learning should feel less complicated and more meaningful. I've spent over two decades educating students, supporting schools, and helping others take the guesswork out of literacy instruction and leadership.

With a doctorate in education, multiple teaching certifications, and a background that includes classroom and collegiate teaching, campus administration, regional consulting, and statewide education support, I specialize in turning education challenges into doable solutions. 

Professional titles aside, here’s the real me:
I love reading (naturally), traveling, discovering new recipes, and tackling DIY projects around the house. I'm proud to spend my days raising two incredible kids with my husband and squeezing in workouts, mostly because my future self will appreciate it. 

I'm a believer in the power of service. I want my life, work, and interactions to reflect God's love in a way that makes others want a relationship with Him. Whether I'm coaching educators, modeling a lesson in a classroom, leading workshops, or simply offering a listening ear, my goal is to serve with humility, purpose, and excellence. 

What sets my approach apart?
    ✔  Practical, ready-to-use literacy strategies
    ✔  A deep understanding of the real challenges teachers and leaders face daily
    ✔  A heart for service, driven by faith, and a clear mission to help others grow

I believe improving instruction shouldn’t feel overwhelming, and writing, reading, and critical thinking should be accessible to every learner. This work isn't just a career. I'm walking in my purpose.
