Kamika holds a B.S. in Elementary Education from North Carolina A&T State University, a M.Ed. in Education Administration and Supervision from Liberty University, and a Graduate Certification in Mathematics from Colorado State University. She is a highly qualified educator with over 15 years of education experience teaching from the elementary to the collegiate level and preparing future teachers for their careers in education.

Kamika began her involvement in education as an academic tutor and her career as an elementary public-school teacher. After giving birth to her first son, God began to deal with her heart about being a stay-at-home wife & mom and homeschooling her children.

Also having the desire to remain active and relevant in the field of education, she not only builds Imagodei Academy, but she also juggles working multiple education position such as an online career high school math teacher, a math professor for both campus and onlinecolleges, and an academic coach for a college course company. In the community, she remains actively involved in the local body of Christ serving kids, youth, young adults, women, and in the arts. She has also served a local homeschool community as a board member for a support group and currently hosts a monthly homeschool mom’s support gathering called “Homeschool Mom Huddle”.

Kamika is married to her supportive, one-of-a-kind husband of 14+ years, Terrence, and together they are raising and homeschooling three active sons. "God has given parents the responsibility of raising their children to know and have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It takes a Christian household, a Bible teaching church, and Christ-centered school for our children and the generations to come to be disciples of Christ. Receiving aChristian education allows students to maximize their God given potential andtalents and helps direct them in fulfilling their purpose here on earth." ~KamikaRaby, M.Ed.Join the Homeschool Yo Kids community for more empowering stories and support as we continue to foster creative, collaborative, and unconventional learning experiences.
