About Me
Board-Certified Educational Advocate
My name is Angel Pittman, and I have served vulnerable populations since 2002 as field personnel with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.
Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, I received my Bachelor of Science in Education from Baylor University and enjoyed my years of classroom teaching. For the last twenty years, I have served vulnerable children in central Texas, Detroit, and Miami and now serve as an Educational Advocate.
I have a twice-exceptional child and have supported parents in their special education journey for many years. I have Board Certification for Advocacy in Special Education (BCASE) from The National Association of Special Education Teachers (NASET) and the American Academy of Special Education Professionals (AASEP).
On the weekends, you can find me hanging out with my amazing husband of twenty-five years, tangled in yarn crafting, creating, playing in the dirt, or drinking coffee while reading a good book.

Speaking
I enjoy sharing about my passion for Biblical justice, serving vulnerable children, my work as an anti-racism educator, or how to engage in culturally sensitive ministry practices.
If you are interested in having me as a speaker, workshop leader, or trainer, please contact me.
