As a young student, Marilyn Adeyemi fell through the cracks. Her family
life and school performance intertwined, and as a result she struggled
for years to unravel the threads of her family’s dysfunction.
Marilyn was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After earning a bachelor’s degree
in Urban and Rural Studies from the University of California San Diego, she earned two teaching credentials—Multiple Subject and Special Education from Point Loma Nazarene University. As a dedicated educator, Marilyn has worked many years supporting children and
helping them live up to their academic potential.
