Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Allison Matulli is a former attorney and educator, now Founder of The Little Lawyers, an organization promoting legal awareness for children. The mother of two and a certified American Montessori lead teacher, Allison is well aware that children are empowered when they have access to all the tools they need. Knowing their rights and respecting others' rights must be among these instruments guiding children to be conscious citizens. Allison is an educational reform activist who consults with schools worldwide on how to provide those tools by introducing and teaching educators and kids to address issues of race, systemic racism, prejudice, legal literacy, diversity, and inclusion. She continues to use her voice to speak up for children’s rights, whether as a keynote speaker on Tuesday Times (a round table sponsored by The New York Times) or as a contributing writer for journals such as Education Week. Allison holds a B.A. in Economics from St. Joseph’s University, a Master’s in Education from Endicott College, and a J.D. from Howard University School of Law. She is based in Miami where she lives with her husband and two children, Santo Max and Eva Skye. You can learn more about Allison at www.thelittlelawyers.com.
