Nanthalia McJamerson Ph. D.

When students use Dr. McJamerson’s Matrix for Achieving Success Despite Extraordinary Challenges (the MASDEC) to study the lives of icons such as Oprah Winfrey, Albert Einstein, Kevin Hart, Ann Richards Jamie Grace, etc., they are participating in a unique process and they are transformed. In addition to helping others enhance their lives, Nanthalia McJamerson enjoys line dancing, playing piano and writing poetry. Her personal titles include mother-by-marriage (she doesn’t like the term stepmother), “GranNan”, legal godmother, fairy godmother, Pink Pebble and Cognitive Mother.

Professionally, Dr. McJamerson is an educational consultant, counselor and a retired Professor of Education from Grambling State University. Serving as a Visiting Professor at South Carolina State University was one of the highlights of her career. She is an author of educational books, including (1) Reconstructing Lives: Taking the Mystery out of Success and (2) Re-Make an Icon So You Can Produce One in Yourself and Others. Also, she has published some of her work in a poetry collection titled Contrary to Rumor, I’m Wonderfully Made. As a result of grant writing, Dr. McJamerson held the position of Co-Director and Leadership Coordinator of the “CSI: Grambling” LA GEAR UP Summer Learning Camps, 2005-2012. In partnership, she and her late husband, Dr. Jimmy McJamerson, founded McJamerson Achiever Builders, a company for professional growth, achievement motivation and youth development.
