Civics 4 All recognizes that civic education requires lifelong learning.  Every American needs to understand the way our government and political system work. That's why Civics 4 All's blog and [new book](https://civics4all.org/book?hsLang=en-us) focus on providing everyday Americans with the information they need to navigate government affairs and hold politicians accountable. ![IMG_0252-compressed](https://civics4all.org/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_0252-compressed.jpeg?width=352&height=640&name=IMG_0252-compressed.jpeg "IMG_0252-compressed") This excerpt is from Roneka's appearance on the Politics with Paul podcast, which aired on October 28, 2025. # Meet the Founder Roneka was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her interest in politics was sparked at an early age, inspiring her educational and career choices. She earned a B.A. in international studies from Emory University and an M.A. in political science from The Ohio State University. Roneka taught Political Science and African American Studies at the College of Charleston for six years and currently teaches an online US Politics course for California Intercontinental University. She has served as an elections official during every federal election since 2016. She also worked as a program manager and staff writer for several political and education-focused nonprofits, including the Michigan Center for Civic Education. These experiences ignited her passion for educating others about government and politics. Roneka created Civics 4 All with a mission to share the information she taught students in her American Government classes with as many people as possible.  ## Support My Work Your support is essential to everything I do at Civics 4 All.
