She is the proud granddaughter of Mississippi sharecroppers. Nicole spent the first half of her life in rural Southeast Missouri, and has called the mountains of Western North Carolina home for sixteen years. She believes in a world where all people, regardless of their identity, are free. Nicole has been on the ground organizing for over twelve years around issues such as cash bail, municipal budget transparency, environmental justice, education equity, and food justice. The many lessons of her grandmother Mattie taught her that movement not only needs people who are willing to throw down on the front line, but also those who are willing to stay behind and tend to the babies and put on a pot of beans. Nicole has spent the last several years supporting non-profit organizations and academic institutions with equity training and strategic equity planning. She is a member and former staff member of Southerners On New Ground; a member of CoThinkk; a Senior Affiliate Trainer for Race Forward; and serves as the Finance & Operations Strategist for Blueprint NC. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611d491d2c1904487b05bdd8/1634911632018-OP8MLZ1PIA2ST4Z10J4X/Megan%2BHeadshot.jpg Team 2022 CONSULTANT Megan Moore she/hers Megan joins Davis Squared Consulting with 14 years of experience in educational equity. She believes that all children should be challenged intellectually, while being loved unconditionally. In order to do that, Megan has continued to examine her own whiteness and challenge biases that affect how she shows up and the environment she creates for all of her scholars. After pursuing her undergraduate degree in psychology and nonprofit management at Pepperdine University, Megan joined Teach For America in Charlotte, North Carolina where she taught 1st and 4th grade. She returned to the nonprofit field and California as a Program Director for a Bay Area nonprofit for seven years working with youth who aspired to be the first in their families to attend college. Recognizing that organizational impact and employee satisfaction is heavily influenced by the competencies, assets and philosophies of its leaders, Megan received a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership from Chapman University. Megan returned to the classroom as a founding teacher at a new school in Atlanta, GA that explicitly incorporates equity and anti-racism into its framework and curriculum. In addition, she is a certified senior trainer for staff that work in youth development and the out-of school time field, offering training in positive youth development principles, diversity, equity and inclusion, STEM, behavior guidance, leadership and social-emotional learning practices. She serves on the Board of Directors for the California School-Age Consortium (CalSAC). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611d491d2c1904487b05bdd8/1629656847025-W7DBW1XIPH8GEWJ6XHG5/_JMP5329.jpg Team 2022 - FOUNDER & CEO Marsha Davis she/hers With over 15 years of experience as a nonprofit and philanthropic leader, Marsha supports her clients in building values-driven strategies that enhance the resilience of our communities.
