About Me


The Making of Menyet: 
In the early 80's, I was born in the city of Englewood (located about 10 minutes from New York City). 

In 2012, I was granted with the new Kemetic name of "Menyet Ankh En Ma'at Menta". My name was given to me by my teacher Hem NTR Ra Sankhu Kheper after being initiated into the Temple of Anu. The meaning of it is "Menyet Ankh En Ma'at" She who finds pleasure in living in balance and harmony. My familial name "Menta" means to establish on earth.



Purpose: 
This blog started as an idea. A simple idea to present review and discuss different products and media geared for individuals, families, and educators to promote culturally responsive and relevant education, specifically within the Pan-African community. 

Education:
After graduating from Teaneck High School in Teaneck, NJ I continued my academic career at William Paterson University in Wayne NJ. While attending the University, I majored in African, African-American, and Caribbean studies and concentrated my studies in the area of History and community development. Recently I began my graduate coursework, at Rutgers University in Social and Philosophical Foundations in Education and anticipate graduation in the Summer of 2013 with my MA. I plan to continue my education at Rutgers by earning my EdD in Education with a 
concentration in Concentration in Education, Culture, and Society


Career:
I have been a professional educator in New Jersey since 2008. My focus is culturally responsive and relevant (multicultural) education and character education specifically within the Pan-African community. My philosophy for learning is that each student is unique, and each student learns in a different way. One of my jobs as a teacher is to help my students discover their academic potential and work alongside them to maximize it. I fully believe in infusing technology, hands-on experiences, learning creatively as well as interactively within the classroom.
