Welcome. I am Dr. Teyuna Darris, a communication scholar and certified educator dedicated to the power of the spoken and written word.

My work explores how we communicate identity, history, and values in a rapidly evolving world. From designing standards-based curriculum to researching the digital practices of the modern family, I am committed to giving people the language they need to own their stories.

Areas of Focus:

• Communication Research: Analyzing family dynamics in the digital age.
• Curriculum Design: Creating culturally responsive tools for K-8 education.
• Narrative Stewardship: Curating literature that connects past and present.
