"TSU saved my life."

Dionne Cooley

Computer Science Teacher

“My worry is for those students like me, at predominately white schools…”

#Shoutout to Tennessee State University! This week, Ms. Dionne Cooley, a Computer Science teacher with 16 years of experience, takes us on a walk down memory lane through her educational and career journey. Originating from St. Louis, MO, she experienced the culture shock of being bussed to school, honing her adaptability skills from an early age. Dionne's unique path into education, initially a business administration and marketing major, was influenced by her "Auntie Cousin," to explore the classroom. Labeling herself a "Unicorn," she emphasizes the rarity of Black women teaching tech at the elementary level, echoing the sentiment that she had never seen another Black woman in that role.

"They stick with me."

Dionne passionately addresses critical issues within the education system, from the challenges of students not receiving essential special education services to the business dynamics of charter schools. She raises poignant questions about erasure of Black history in predominantly white schools. Dionne explores the impact of gentrification near HBCUs and advocates for ownership within the Black community, questioning why Black educators aren't coming together to create their own charter schools. Her advocacy reflects a deep commitment to preserving Black history and identity within education. Join us as Ms. Dionne Cooley shares her personal experiences, challenges, and unwavering dedication to transformative education.
