NIA FAMILY CENTER SITE DIRECTOR WANTS TO INSPIRE OTHERS TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL
Ebony Westbrooks grew up in the West Humboldt Park neighborhood. Westbrooks was a teen mom, and her children attended the Nia Family Center. The teachers were so welcoming and hands-on, and they provided the support she needed to reach her goals. She fell in love with that and went to school to get her Master’s Degree in early education.
