ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Born in Inglewood, CA, Almease grew up in a large, lively family, where it was often difficult to be heard or seen. Her childhood and young adulthood were blighted by more than a few traumatic experiences, including abuse, divorce, and cancer. With pillars of support from her husband, children, parents, a village of family and friends, and distinguished teachers, she survived it all. Since then, Almease has made a lifelong commitment to empowering others, especially children, to foster safe and healthy ways of living. Her calling to help meet the needs of children and families, revolutionize schools’ culture and climate and advocate for oppressed, distressed groups is more prominent than ever before.

Almease is a school social worker in South Los Angeles and has abetted to promote student empowerment and create safe schools for the past 13 years. She has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology, a master’s degree in social work, and a Pupil Personnel Services Credential from the University of Southern California. Her ultimate desire is to create possibilities for children to internalize their strengths, raise their efficacy, develop nurturing relationships, and exclaim their right to safe and inclusive spaces.
