Christa Flood
A mother, educator, advocate, Author, and Life Coach.
Dr. Christa Flood’s motto in life remains “If better is a possibility then good is no longer an option.” She is the proud parent of a 30 year old daughter who currently lives in Houston, Texas whom she loves dearly. She often tells you, I may have one biological daughter, but I am a mother figure to hundreds of former students and current teachers who call her “Mama Flood.”
Her hometown is Rich Square, North Carolina, which is located in the northeastern part of the state. She will tell you that her upbringing mirrored Langston Hughes poem, “Life for me Ain’t Been No crystal Stair”. She knows that it was love and care for one another that aided in many of her dreams becoming a reality. She attended undergraduate at Winston-Salem State University where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in History and English, UNC-Charlotte for her Master’s Degree in Middle Grades Education, Wingate University for her Principal Licensure and ultimately her Doctoral degree in Educational Leadership.
She strives relentlessly every day to help others reach their full potential, no matter what the costs! She is an accomplished North Carolina Administrator, Staff Development Coordinator, and an active Community volunteer who never meets a stranger. Her passion for quality education for all children resonates in her work. Throughout her twenty-five years in education she has served as a Middle Grades Language Arts teacher, Curriculum Reading Specialist, a Strategic Staffed Assistant Principal, and currently serves as Director, District and School Strategy for Teach for America, a non-profit organization, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Through her vast array of experiences and cadre of working and learning from some of the most intelligent leaders, she asserts that this has grounded her mission to ensure that students are put on a path towards educational equity.
I have been saying I would love to write a book about quotes that could empower people. For four years, I would start and stop for a variety of reasons. I even had the majority of the book written in 2017, but my laptop crashed, and I lost everything. I saw this as God’s way of telling me to start over, this is not the direction for you at this time. Alas, another direction for my book came about in 2018! I decided to choose my favorite personal quotes, while highlighting people in my life that epitomize and model that quote. I strongly believe that you should tell someone how they have impacted your life while living, so this is the “why” behind the structure of my book. I challenge each person who reads this book to think about a person who epitomizes and models each quote and TELL them or simply think about how you model this quote.
Another thought as I finally wrote my book came to mind, What legacy do I want to leave behind? Fear of the unknown encouraged me to stop talking about it and make it happen. As my beloved mother, Doris Jenkins Flood was called to her heavenly home on December 29, 2019, I was then again reminded that her legacy was love and I too want to be remembered for the love I have shown to others.
I hope this book is confirmation of the love I have for each of you and if I didn’t highlight your words in this publication; don’t worry my future is bright. Until the next book, remember, your words have also encouraged me, I love you and I pray that I’ve shown you just how much. I encourage you to read the book with a purpose. As you read, question how you model love and how do you show love to others.
After reading this daily book of daily quotes, if one resonates with you, please send me an email to share as I would love to hear from you…. [email protected]
