Company History

"Season, Reason or Lifetime..." There is a reason God crossed these paths and with a steadfast commitment, we pray a lifetime of success.

-Ecclesiastes 3:1-22

For many years, Shaunda Davis and Sonia Lewis have been working with and assisting youth in a variety of capacities. Shaunda and Sonia were introduced as they worked for the Sacramento Police department’s magnet school academy programs of Criminal Justice and Community Service. Since 2005, they have shared practices, ideas and resources while meeting student needs at their respective school campuses. While attending many conferences, field trips, and youth events, the two found their common ground welcoming and refreshing, as reaching our youth can at times be a very daunting task.

During the Sacramento Community Renewal Summit (September 2008), both women began to brainstorm and discuss their own personal goals, as they pertained to helping youth and the community. This led to numerous phone conversations and emails filled with advice and suggestions. Ms. Davis and Mrs. Lewis met for breakfast on February 13, 2009, where Shaunda proposed that the two work together on forming a company that would meet the needs of both of their personal and professional goals…thus the birth of ASCRIBE Educational Consulting.

Shaunda Davis and Sonia Lewis have taken on the responsibility of forming a company that is superior comparatively to those who promise to assist students with their educational endeavors. They have researched, recognized and concluded, that at best, other companies solely focus on college prep and not vocational, SAT/ACT prep or scholarships. Consequently, the competition fails to provide a service that combines an outlook on planning for whatever endeavor a young person is willing to experience. Thus, the viability and strength in the concept of ASCRIBE Consulting.

Their more than 30 years of combined experience in education and in the community speaks to the philosophy of ASCRIBE, “Achievement and Success Conveys Righteousness and Intelligence Befitting Excellence.” Thus investing in our youth is priceless and ASCRIBE's number one priority.

Customer Testimonials

"Ms. Shaunda Davis has been an important part of my life...She pushed me to strive for excellence...She presented opportunities which allowed me to practice leadership. She is one of the reasons that I am the person that I have become: a student at UC Berkeley, writing for an award-winning newspaper, and taking rigorous courses, while preparing for a successful future. Thank you Ms. Davis!"

-Crystal Fairrington, former student

"As a former student of Mrs. Lewis, I had the pleasure of having her as not only a teacher but also as a mentor...recently, she took time out of her busy schedule to assist me with college and scholarship applications. Much appreciation is given to her because I received $1000 and $500 scholarships. She's taught me the greatest reward is that of what I accomplish by following through and not what I achieve. I'm thankful for her as a teacher and mentor."

-Timberly Randolph, former student

“Our daughter has been involved with College Planning with Ms. Davis for over two years. During that time we have seen our daughter grow into a more confident, socially aware person who is eager to face college life. Our daughter has received invaluable assistance with her college applications, and scholarship essays and interviews. This assistance included one-on-one mentoring and interview coaching. She also received access to community service volunteer opportunities, which have exposed her to the need to give back to local community organizations. Without a doubt, Ms. Davis' involvement in her life has helped to prepare our daughter for higher education and her future. For this, my husband and I are ex tremely thankful and grateful, as Krysta will be attending Virginia State University, this fall (2009).”

The great poetist, herself...Sonia Sanchez

She told me, "Sonia spelled with an i, means genius"

(I receive that)

Dr. West passing knowledge to my son, Igzabihair

I hope the seriousness in Dr. West eyes meant something.

I didn't hear the conversation, but the look is so much more powerful!
