Founder & Executive Director
Dr. Sherell A. McArthur is a 17-year educator and a 7-year teacher educator as a former elementary school teacher and a current Associate Professor of Education at the University of Georgia. She is also a certified Wellness & Life Coach for women and girls of color.
For 10 years, Dr. Mac's research, teaching and community outreach has centered Black girls. She has facilitated healing circles for Black girls, domestically and internationally, and has spoken around the country on Black girlhood. She has also done this work with mothers, Black women teachers, and Black corporate women.
What she recognized through this work is that there is no shortage of brilliance, creativity, beauty, innovation or sheer verve with Black women! However, there is a shortage of access to resources and opportunities. This understanding birthed
TeacHER Beyond.
