Sade Elhawary is an educator, organizer, and foster parent. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Sade has been involved in politics and activism from the time she was elected Student Body President in elementary school. Sade has dedicated her life to dismantling oppressive systems one by one and being a driving force for justice and liberation.
The eldest daughter of immigrants who moved to the United States for a brighter future, Sade attended local K-12 public schools and was mentored by teachers who helped her become the first in her family to go to college.
After receiving her bachelor’s degree from UCLA and master’s from Harvard Graduate School of Education, Sade joined the faculty team that founded and created the curriculum of the Nelson Mandela School for Social Justice.
From the time she was little, Sade watched her mom, a single mother of three girls, organize women for better jobs, equal pay, and access to reproductive health care.
