Campaign website

Rem’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Believers! My name is Bethsheba Rem affectionately known to the world as Queen Sheba and I am running to join the Atlanta Public School Board for District 2 - which reaches from the Abernathy towers, to Campbelton Road to Centennial Place! And I have been your neighbor for over 3 years: working, living, shopping, working and socializing right in the West End, right across the street from the West End park. I am excited to connect with all of you and your children. Growing up in the Detroit public school system, I found my passion through writing which has led me to a world of skill sets including but not limited to: owning several small business, an adjunct position at Clark Atlanta University as a part time Creative Writing professor, producing a national touring stage show, creating my own curriculum to teach black and brown people how to start their own businesses, find funding, grant write and read policy and contracts. In my tenure as an award Spoken Word artist; I have traveled around the world leading seminars to inspire others to use their voice and civil rights to express who they are and who they are becoming. I believe students and parents should come first in making decisions on the Board to implement lasting improvements for our future leaders. Let’s make going to school something we all look forward to, again Finding… …the balance in keeping our students and faculty safe in light of heath concerns around COVID restrictions. Developing… …a plan to expand the curriculum to reflect accurate historical events in America and the rich history of Atlanta. Bridging… …the gap between our schools with our neighborhoods to include a pathway to lead community development to keep our students on the right track to collegiate institutes. Creating… …tools for parents to use to work with teachers in assisting the progression in education. Addressing… …budget concerns to ensure that all children have equal access to equitable education.	”
