Meet Wylea
I am rooted in community and committed to change. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, I have called Montgomery County home since 1998. My husband and I live in Gaithersburg, where we have raised four children; two proud MCPS graduates and two current high schoolers. My lived experience as a wife, parent, advocate, and community leader fuels my unwavering commitment to ensuring every student in Montgomery County has access to an excellent, equitable education.
Ready to Represent, Ready to Serve
I am running for an at-large seat on the Montgomery County Board of Education because I feel an undeniable sense of urgency, especially in these times. As a mother, wife, and Black woman of strong faith, this decision comes from both my lived experience and my heart. It wasn’t made lightly. I prayed about it, talked it through with my husband, and was encouraged by people I deeply trust and respect.
MCPS can’t do it all alone, they need our community, and I am a convener of people. People who are READY and well equipped to do what is needed; many hands make light work. We have real talent and people who care in our County, and we need to tap into those human resources now more than ever.
