MEET THE GLOW TEAM

Lead Credible Messenger
Shontaine W.
I am a mother/mentor at GLOW and child of God. I have been working with youth since I was 14 years old. I started as a babysitter, then at the Boys and Girls Club and Northcott Neighborhood House where my foundation began. There are many reasons why I have always had a heart for youth, but my number one reason is, I had my first son at 16 years old and my mother or father wasn't in my life. From that day forward, I knew I could be relatable and help empower young people. I am also passionate about mental health and want to help alleviate barriers to access with young people.

I am so thankful to be apart of the GLOW team. I am a mother, leader, and mentor who is passionate about making a positive impact in the community. My goal is to help guide youth to success by providing recourses, opportunities, and mentorship as well as further my education to obtain the proper knowledge.  I believe it is essential to support youth and their paths to adulthood while witnessing them grow and “GLOW”.

Imani B, MSEd

I am a doctoral student who is passionate about contributing to a lasting positive change in the personal & educational experiences of underserved and marginalized communities. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work in 2017, my Master’s Degree in Higher Education Leadership in 2019, and I am currently working on my PhD in Higher Education. It was mentors who took an interest in my life, poured into me, and provided me with the necessary tools, opportunities, and resources that greatly contribute to where I am today. I enjoy serving as a mentor and providing youth and young adults the same opportunities that I had!

Linda D

I am so grateful that my path has led me to GLOW. I received my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration- Accounting from UW-Milwaukee. I earned my Masters in Education from Mount Mary University with a minor in Mathematics, and currently teach high school math in Milwaukee. My focus and passion is on nurturing confidence in my students and bringing a sense of empowerment in math to individuals who have a history of feeling excluded from math related fields of study. I came to GLOW looking for more opportunities to support and empower individuals who are underserved in our community to realize their potential and achieve the success they deserve.

Family Support Specialist & Clinical Intern

Quatina G, BSW 

I obtained my Bachelor's in Social Work in 2019 from UWM-Milwaukee. What inspired me to pursue a career in social work is experiencing and witnessing numerous disadvantages of social inequality throughout my childhood. My expertise is youth and family services, Alcohol and other Drug Abuse (AODA), Mental Health, Trauma Informed, and Cultural Awareness. Paving a way, providing resources, and opportunities for the oppressed became a vital mission. My goal is to receive my Master's of Social Work and become a Substance Abuse Counselor and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. The reason I chose to become a mentor with GLOW is because I believe in the mission, wanted to have a positive impact on youth, and support a Black Owned Business. ​

Fun fact about me: "I love to study Egypt."
