“It really was a cathartic, healing tool for me…”
Ms. Khadijah Butler
Nonprofit Founder and President, Author
“I’m going to write a book so people can learn how to do it themselves…”
Laying the Foundation, Brick by Brick.
Khadijah Butler believes in the power of investing in the lives of Black and Brown youth, and does that each day via the Craig D. Butler Scholarship Foundation. With the desire to pay it forward, while giving it back, Khadijah is focused on providing educational opportunities for Black students to escape poverty in Philly.
“Why are these things happening?”
As a Kinesiology major who was not traditionally involved in education, it was the tragic murder of her father that led Khadijah to create the scholarship foundation. Since the January 2020 launch, Khadijah has developed an incredible affinity for educators and school based staff. Moving through the grief and trauma of loss, she speaks on preserving the legacy of her father, providing a solution towards the education gap, and changing the narrative, highlighting Black excellence coming out of Philly.
