Cultural Responsive Facilitator and Speaker
Libya Doman
Serving in various roles within and beyond schools, Libya noticed the elephants in the room that others chose to ignore. She started designing programming to help educators grapple with tough topics that impeded change.
Libya is proud to have a degree from Spelman College; an HBCU. She received a post-Baccalaureate from Moore College of Art & Design. She earned her Master’s in Art Education and 2D Art from TC, Columbia University. Libya is a National Board-certified visual art educator and a cultural responsiveness facilitator.
Libya helps educators
notice inequities and
disrupt the status quo.
Using art and conversation as “mirrors and windows” to seeing ourselves and others, Libya designs and delivers curriculums, workshops, and keynotes to help educators grapple with topics that are often deemed “taboo.”
Presentation focuses include--but are not limited to--race, gender, orientation, (dis)abilities, language, SES, and 'othered' populations.
For many years, Libya has served as an Equity Lead in her school system as well as an adjunct professor at George Mason University. She was a member of NAEA’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) Task Force . Libya is an ED&I Guide for NAEA's School for Art Leaders and Cultural Competency programs. She was named VAEA's 2020 Art Educator of the Year as well as Elementary Art Educator of the Year. In Summer 2022, Libya was named a Lowell Milken Center Teachers Fellow.
Ms. Doman uses her knowledge of adult learners to build the diversity, equity, and inclusive capacities of educators. She has coached staff members on the selection of the most effective strategies and decisions to enhance student and colleague relationships.
