My name is Kizzi-Eliza Frisby an Anthropologist, researcher, Birmingham resident and lifelong student. I worked in childcare and developmet for ten years before finding this path. I began my studies in early childhood education, with three and a half years of undergrad work at the University of South Alabama in Mobile. After expecting my first child in April of 2015, I left college and began my career in the field of childcare.
Working my way up, I began my work in a tiny infant classroom in McDounough, GA in 2015. Since then, I have had the pleasure of working with larger schools as well as those curated to low-income neighborhoods such as Jefferson County Commission for Economic Opportunity's pre-k program and James Rushton Early Learning and Family Development Center.
I ended my classroom career with James Rushton at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic due to a deep depression and passion to reach the needs of families beyond the classroom. Determined, I left credentialed with a child development associate and the know-how to run a classroom on my own terms.
I am a UAB graduate, with a B.A. in Anthropology and am currently a part of their masters program for Peace and Human Rights. I built this Village to teach self-sustainability and educational development to my community, my culture, my people. We are the bricolage.
