Nicole Baker Fulgham knows what it is like to grow up in poverty. She knows what it is like to teach children in poverty. And she knows what her faith tells her: “We are made in God’s image. I can’t believe that God would only give potential to white, wealthy kids.”
So she has devoted her career to mobilizing people of faith to support public education reform and to close the academic achievement gap. She spoke on Saturday at the 2018 Kingdom Justice Summit, held at Upper House. (Selfless Ambition was one of the co-sponsors.) There were representatives of about 60 congregations in attendance.
