What is the biggest fear you would like to overcome and why?
The biggest fear that I would like to overcome is a fear of heights. I love hiking and being outdoors and my fear of heights has prevented me from doing some hikes that I really want to complete. For example, I was unable to finish Angel’s Landing at Zion National Park because the final part of the trail had steep drop offs on both sides!

Assistant Professor
Texas Christian University
Dr. Miriam Ezzani is an assistant professor of educational leadership in the College of Education at Texas Christian University (TCU), where she serves as a member of TCU's DEI and IRB committees. Her academic training at the University of Southern California coupled with her professional experiences as a teacher, literacy coach, administrator, and university faculty have informed her work as a scholar. She conducts research in districts and schools that engage in systemic reform efforts focused on cultural proficiency. These district or school-wide studies are at times interdisciplinary and contribute to our understanding of the critical role of continuous improvement and the need to leverage and affirm such work by designing and implementing sound equity policies. Dr. Ezzani serves as the AERA Systems Thinking in Education SIG Chair, a member of the AERA Leadership for Social Justice Publications Committee, a Division A member, and is the co-editor of Features for the UCEA Review. She is the recipient of the 2020 UCEA Jack A. Culbertson Award and her work appears in such publications as Educational Administration Quarterly, Journal of School Leadership, Teachers College Record, and The Huffington Post. She is currently working on two full-length books, one co-authored and one co-edited.
What is the biggest fear you would like to overcome and why?
My biggest fear is running out of time to engage in what The Honorable John R. Lewis deemed 'good trouble'. We all want to believe that our lives matter and so what we do with our time and who we spend it with is important. Having said that, we need to remember our various roles and relationships -- daughter, sister, mother, partner, professor, colleague, friend, and ummah. These relationships comprise my circle of influence and I hope that we together can strive toward "good trouble".

What is the biggest fear you would like to overcome and why?
Not exactly my biggest fear, but I'm in the process of learning family recipes and I fear disappointing my ancestors everytime I attempt to make arroz.
