About Me

Hey y’all, I’m Phyllicia Moore—but around here, I go by The Smart & Sassy Teacher.

​

I wear a lot of hats—educator, researcher, program leader, mom, writer, and whole-life architect. My work lives at the intersection of education, wellness, food systems, and community, where I help bridge the gap between what we teach and how we live.

 

By day, I lead hands-on learning initiatives that connect students to real-world experiences through food, nature, and inquiry.

​

Translation?
I help communities learn, grow, and thrive—one lesson, one seed, one story at a time.

 

But this space?
This is where the sass + the soul come out to play.

​

Here, I share the real behind the titles—the journal entries, the reflections, the resources, the clapbacks, the breakthroughs, and the lessons that remind us that teaching, parenting, healing, and leading are as messy as they are meaningful.

 

✨ What You’ll Find Here

Smart – Tools, strategies, and insights grounded in research, leadership experience, and lived wisdom.

 

Sassy – Honest reflections, humor, and truth-telling about life, growth, boundaries, and becoming.

 

Teacher – Lessons from the classroom, the garden, the community, and the journey of becoming your best self.

 

At the core of it all, I believe in:
🌱 Growth — becoming without apology
🔥 Resilience — rising even when it’s hard
💛 Authenticity — choosing real over perfect

​

Whether I’m designing learning experiences, raising tiny humans, or writing my way through another season of evolution, I hold onto one truth:

Every seed planted—big or small—matters.

 

So welcome to my corner of the internet.

 

Pull up a chair, grab some inspiration (and maybe a gentle clapback), and let’s grow smarter, stronger, and sassier—together. 🌱✨
