Meet The Team
Angela M. Flennoy, Co-Founder & Executive Director
A trailblazing IT professional, Angela Flennoy brings over 20 years of expertise in technology solutions, innovation, and digital transformation. With a robust background in adult education and training, she has spent more than a decade mastering teaching, assessment design, and instructional strategy, seamlessly bridging eLearning and in-person education. Passionate about empowering learners, Angela is dedicated to crafting engaging, inclusive learning experiences that cater to diverse learning styles and drive real-world impact.

As a wife and mother of two teenagers—one with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and CAPD (Central Auditory Processing Disorder)—Angela deeply understands the challenges of raising a child with dual disabilities. Her personal journey fuels her passion for supporting other parents, offering guidance and resources to help them navigate similar challenges with confidence.
Khadija Sufi, Co-Founder & Executive Director
Khadija Sufi is a mother, entrepreneur, and community leader, deeply connected to the rich cultural heritage that has shaped her—her South Asian roots and the dynamic rhythm of life in America. For over 15 years, she has called Naperville home, raising four children in School District 204, establishing a women-owned business, and serving as part of an administrative team for the Western Suburb Township.
For Khadija, life is a delicate balance—where morning coffee fuels ambition, but afternoon chai nourishes the soul. More than just a drink, chai represents a ritual of connection, a moment to pause, reflect, and share—where conversations unfold, laughter is exchanged, and bonds are strengthened.
As a parent, she fostered a tradition of gathering her children around the kitchen table after school. Over light snacks, they talked—about their day, what they had learned (or unlearned), and how they planned to navigate life’s challenges. Sometimes, she sought their advice too, believing that growth is a two-way journey.
Then, the pandemic arrived, bringing an unseen storm. Khadija watched as her children—once full of life and curiosity—began to struggle with mental health challenges. She saw them wrestle with despair, losing hope and, at times, losing themselves. As a mother, she became their anchor, but she also had to reclaim herself from the weight of helplessness that so many families endured.
Her journey has been one of vulnerability, faith, and healing—of learning to let go of judgment, embrace uncertainty, and find strength in connection. Through her experiences, she hopes to inspire others to know that they are not alone.
As Rumi so beautifully said: "The wound is the place where the light enters you."
