About
My Story
For over a decade, Dr. Melita Thomas has lived through the real stories behind the school walls—the ones that don’t make it into the training manuals. From classroom chaos to boardroom politics, from heartbreaking student moments to triumphs that make it all worth it,
...she’s seen it all.
Through her honest storytelling, Dr. Thomas invites educators, parents, and leaders alike to pull up a chair and laugh, cry, and learn from the wild ride that is public education. Whether you’re in the classroom or the boardroom, this book will remind you that leadership is not about perfection—it’s about perseverance, purpose, and a whole lot of “ish.”
My Books
Real stories. Real chaos. Real leadership.
In No One Trained Me for This Ish!, Dr. Thomas takes readers on a raw, hilarious, and heartfelt journey through the highs and lows of leading in urban education.
This isn’t your typical “how-to” guide—it’s the handbook they forgot to write. Each chapter unveils true-to-life tales that expose the grit, grace, and sometimes absurdity of being a principal and administrator in today’s schools.
