Dr Gill is proud of using the instruction of Black History as a methodology in empowering audiences nationally. Her recent sight and work is set on her hometown Chicago, where she’s determined to help eradicate the violence, helplessness and hopelessness. Coined as her History, Healing and Hope Tour, she’s reached thousands of students in the city’s most blighted and disenfranchised neighborhoods.
As an esteemed educator, Dr. Gill is regarded as one who simply ‘knows how to teach,’ while touching the hearts and opening the minds of students everywhere. Her Champions Break Chains Tour successfully reached 350,000 students, teachers and parents throughout America. Her more recent release, Black Genes – Black Genius: A Motivational Handbook to Empower Black Youth is her answer to what she labels an attack on the intellectual and cultural genius of Black children.
