"Dr. Wicondra Stovall is the Founder/CEO of Just Like a Mom, a cultural brokering agency designed to combat the Black student achievement gap and Black teacher deficit gap through a framework referred to as ""othermothering."" Wicondra was raised in a mother-led household with a mother that did not play about her and her sister's education. This experience influenced Wicondra's interest in parental engagement and Black students, which ultimately led her to her current profession and personal ministry. Wicondra is a former corporate trainer and K-12 principal and possesses a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Sacramento State University, a Master's degree in Learning Technologies from Pepperdine University, a Bachelor's degree in Human Development with a concentration in Adult Development and Gerontology from California State University, East Bay and an Associate's degree in Liberal Studies from Contra Costa College. Wicondra has also published work in the International Journal of Psychological Studies and wrote, My School Moms to calendar her own experiences with othermothering from preschool through her first college degree. Wicondra has been married to rock and husband Rodney for nearly 17 years, and of their union, they have three children: Ashari (14), Rodney (11) and Ashyah (5). In her spare time, Wicondra enjoys reading and research, spa treatments, exercising with her 4FS Training family and solo trips to breakfast and shopping. Fun fact: Every time Wicondra got pregnant, she went back to school. Her children are truly her inspiration!"
