Alumni Spotlight - Amani Thomas, Dallas County '21

Amani Thomas is an alumna of the Dallas County Legislative Voices class of 2021. Amani works as the Communications Manager for The Commit Partnership, an organization centered on ensuring that North Texas students receive an equitable education. According to Amani, Leadership ISD does a great job of breaking down a complex system for those not in the education sector, and making it digestible. In her personal experience, Amani states that Leadership ISD has prepared her to think more about how she can aid others in the education advocacy space, specifically in her role at The Commit Partnership. Amani believes that our legislators should understand that social-emotional learning is vital, and that students are more than a number on a page. For Amani, Leadership ISD is a valuable starting point for anyone interested in advocating for students—and uncovering new systems that you may not have not known were in place.
