Jamie Warren    

Motivational & Educational Leader

At only 18 years old Jamie Warren was 1 of 5 in the United States to receive a scholarship and got to attend a conference in Kansas City where she spoke on the behalf of Homeless youth in front of over 1,000 educators. As a freshman in college she joined a National Scholarship Foundation that was focused on reaching Homeless youth. At 20 years old she presented on Capitol Hill in front of 2,000 educators and congressmen and women. Warren was invited to sit in on a meeting with the Secretary of Education and advised on policies that impact and affect homeless students. Based on that meeting a policy change was implemented to the Mckinney-Vento Act, making the transition from highschool to college easier on homeless youth. At 21 she presented at the South by Southwest Educators conference and spoke to the difficulties in public education for homeless youth. This conference led to her being featured on a Podcast that allowed her to speak out on behalf of homeless youth across America.

At 21 years old Warren broke a generational cycle when she graduated with her Bachelors in Education from Wayland Baptist University and achieved her dream of not only being the first person in her family to graduate from highschool but College as well. At 21 she married the man of her dreams who embraced her pain and past and continued to build her up. They have since had two perfect babies and she has achieved her life goal of building a family of her own and letting go of the suffering from her childhood. Since, Warren has moved up the professional ladder of being a teacher to now being a Curriculum Specialist and Reading Interventionist. At 27 Warren spoke at the Live on Purpose conference that was targeted toward at-risk and Homeless youth becoming the first time she shared her story with students. That very day was the official date that she received her Masters Degree in Educational Administration. Warren spoke just recently at the Loved conference at the Baptist Church in Shallowater where she shared her testimony and how it impacted her faith.

Living our Purpose

We live in a world of tragedy and continuous questioning of what it is we are meant to do with our lives. Obstacles are going to be present in our lives no matter our social status or who we are .

Redemption

The ability to overcome obstacles is about changing a situation from bad to good.

It is all about not repeating the situations that you have been through and changing your future for the better. Redemption is about becoming who you are despite the rough times the world has thrown at you. This redemption may have multiple meanings, but in the end it is all about how you handle the tough times. This session shares how tragedy can be used in a powerful way in order to redeem yourself.

Education: Do we really know what our students are living?

As educators, we like to think we know our students in and out and the lives they are living. The truth is we are only able to see a tiny glimpse of what our students experience daily.

Homelessness

Homelessness involves multiple facets; therefore, it impacts everyone differently. We live in a world of neglect, trauma, and tragedy which makes us continuously question who we are. This session highlights the reality that is faced daily in the lives of those that surround us. In this session, I will open the door to when my homelessness once meant losing the only family I had and left me wondering why no one cared enough to take care of me. Homelessness is not just about having a family that does not care about you, it is about surrounding yourself with people that want to see you succeed.
