Our Founder's Story
Former Bully... Now Change Agent!
As a young girl growing up in Jamaica Queens, NY, Keba idolized my older brother. She'd spend all of my free time hanging out with him, and his friends. As the only girl of the group, she slowly became a "tomboy." In order to fit in, and not appear too soft or girlie, Keba began using combative tones and verbal intimidations, to get what she wanted. As she got older, this behavior became normal, and it slowly seeped into other areas of her life.
Never in a million years, did she ever consider myself to be a BULLY. "I mean, it's not like I was picking schoolyard fights, or taking anyone's lunch money. After all, when i was growing up, studies showed that boys were 2.5 times more likely to be bullies, than girls".
Following her son’s negative reaction to news reports of the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school, Keba saw an education opportunity. Exercising her ability to be a change agent, Keba published the NIEA award-nominated children’s book entitled: Don’t Snooze On Clues! (2014), which provides children between the age of 5-10 yrs. old with strategies to identify potentially dangerous situation, and ways to seek help. Her book provides a fun and easy way for educators and parents to start what can be considered a “difficult” conversation on safety.
Keba continued to promote her book through book tours, readings, and appearances at various libraries and schools. As a result of the countless discussions with students, she began to notice a common thread between safety and bullying. This led Keba to examine the topic of bullying in-depth in order to help the students’ she was encountering. Keba soon discovered that much of her own childhood behavior reflected characteristics of a bully.
Keba has since shifted her career focus full-time to advancing the welfare of students by preparing them for tomorrow's world. She founded a company with the same name, Don’t Snooze On Clues™ (D.S.O.C), which provides fun and interactive enrichment programs to school aged students and their parents. Established in 2015, D.S.O.C’s rapid growth has demonstrated Keba’s commitment to serving children and creating the next generation of change agents.
As a testament of her dedication, Keba was recognized as a “2015 Goodwill Ambassador” by the iChange Nations Interfaith Peace Building Initiative, for her continuous work in the community. In 2017, she was also awarded a Proclamation from New York State Senator Leroy Comrie for the exemplary service Don’t Snooze On Clues™ has performed in the community.
