Biography

Scott, a truly remarkable individual, was born on April 4, 1972, in the vibrant and culturally rich city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a place that would later serve as the backdrop for her formative years. As an only child, Scott was raised by her devoted and loving mother, Joyce Scott, and her grandmother, who played a significant role in shaping her early life and instilling in her a sense of love, belonging, and strong family values.

As Scott walked across the stage, diploma in hand, she marked the culmination of her high school education at the esteemed Philadelphia High School for Girls, a prestigious institution renowned for its academic rigor and excellence. With her sights set on furthering her education, Scott embarked on a journey to Temple University, where she endeavored to pursue a degree in secondary education with the ultimate goal of becoming a high school English teacher. Despite the demands of juggling two jobs to support herself financially, Scott remained committed to her studies, diligently dedicating herself to her coursework and, subsequently, serving as a teacher's aide, gaining valuable hands-on experience in the educational setting.
