Holly Hudley
Holly is a native Houstonian who is an artist, educator, mental health practitioner, spiritual director, and mother of three. She was a high school teacher and counselor for 12 years, but becoming a mother called into her vision, MLK Jr’s belief in the “fierce urgency of now.” She is committed to social justice, because she believes that all children have the right to grow up in a larger reality with more compassion and more attention to inclusion and equity. Holly’s passions include working against injustice, working with teachers to develop a more holistic approach to teaching, and pursuing the arts as a vehicle for social change. She has an MEd in Human Development and Psychology from Harvard University Graduate School of Education and earned a doctorate in Philosophy and Religion from the California Institute for Integral Studies.
