This year marks 100 years of the 19th Amendment which granted women the right to vote. Being a Houston educator, Ms. Tiffany Blackwell teaches her students about the importance of voting. She is a social studies educator with a paralegal background. Ms. Blackwell is originally from New Orleans, Louisiana but made Houston her home. She learned about voting at an early age by going with her mother into the voting booths. It is with this tradition that she would want to educate other women about their voting rights.

Ms. Blackwell is an avid lover of history. Her degrees include an associate’s in Paralegal Studies, a bachelor’s in Political Science from Howard University, and a master’s degree in Secondary Education. Her other accolades are a Louisiana State Senate Award and Teacher of
the Year.
