My name is Kizzi-Eliza Frisby an Anthropologist, researcher, Birmingham resident and lifelong student. I worked in childcare and developmet for ten years before finding this path. I began my studies in early childhood education, with three and a half years of undergrad work at the University of South Alabama in Mobile. After expecting my first child in April of 2015, I left college and began my career in the field of childcare.
Working my way up, I began my work in a tiny infant classroom in McDounough, GA in 2015. Since then, I have had the pleasure of working with larger schools as well as those curated to low-income neighborhoods such as Jefferson County Commission for Economic Opportunity's pre-k program and James Rushton Early Learning and Family Development Center.
I ended my classroom career with James Rushton at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic due to a deep depression and passion to reach the needs of families beyond the classroom. Determined, I left credentialed with a child development associate and the know-how to run a classroom on my own terms.
As of May 4th, 2025, I will be a graduate of UAB's Anthropolgy department, with a B.A. in Anthropology and have already been accepted to begin their graduate program in the Fall.
My current goals include purchasing land, establishing gardens and educating on positive peace practices within my community.
