Meet Our Founder: Princess V. Lyles, Esq.
My journey in education and nonprofit leadership began after I transitioned from practicing corporate law, seeking work that aligned more deeply with my values. I saw firsthand the systemic challenges facing schools and communities, and I felt called to help address them with strategy and heart.
Over nearly two decades, I’ve had the privilege of leading and collaborating with organizations dedicated to educational equity and social justice, including Democracy Prep Public Schools, Educators for Excellence, Democracy Builders, and Manhattan Country School. These experiences have shaped my belief in the power of community engagement, strategic focus, and compassionate leadership, especially during times of transition.
I’ve worked in cities across the country, partnering with local organizations to implement solutions that help students and communities thrive. My mission is to help educational institutions and nonprofits do what they do best—better—through clear strategy, community-centered leadership, and a deep commitment to equity and excellence for all.
