About Us

Devon Frazier never had a “Plan B.” From the first grade, she dreamed of becoming an educator, driven by a desire to help children and make a lasting impression on their lives. A native of Fairfield, Alabama, Devon graduated from Miles College with a dual degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. She furthered her education at Samford University, seeking a master’s degree in educational leadership.

After completing her studies and becoming a teacher, Devon discovered a troubling connection between literacy and the “school-to-prison pipeline.” Working primarily with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) children, she recognized the critical importance of addressing this issue. Motivated to make a difference, she began creating programs that emphasized reading and ensured that children had access to books at home.

Seventeen years into her career as an educator, Devon took her passion to the next level by founding “I See Me, Inc.” The mission of our organization is to ensure that literacy does not become a stumbling block for children of color in their quest for success. With a strong presence throughout Central and South Alabama, we are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of these children. 

Devon, an accomplished alum of the City of Birmingham’s Project Corporate Leadership and the Alabama Leadership Initiative, is a prominent member of our community. She is actively involved with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, and the Junior League of Birmingham. Throughout her career, Devon has received numerous accolades that recognize her outstanding contributions. Her honors include the Dr. A.G. Gaston People’s Choice Award (2019), the Birmingham Business Journal 2021 Women To Watch and also a finalist for 2022 CEO of the year by the journal, 2024 This is Alabama’s Women Who Shape the State and Summit Media 2025 Minority Nonprofit Leader of the Year.

Despite her many achievements, Devon’s greatest honor is being a mother to her beloved daughter, Kherington.
