About Bridging Worlds: Life, Education & Legacy

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m Amanda Edwin — a multipotentialite with several passions. My first passion is my family. Nothing makes me prouder than my husband of 30+ years and the life we have built with our three children and our grandchildren. My passion extends into my professional and creative roles as an educator, paralegal & notary, content creator, and founder of what I fondly call the Spark Hope Collective. This is where education, creativity, and community intersect to uplift families and educators alike.

I’m an island girl at heart, and the beach is my happy place. When I’m not soaking up the sun, you’ll find me teaching, writing, providing notary services, developing programs for Spark Hope for Kids, creating products for my Etsy store, Spark Hope Studio (both part of the Spark Hope Collective), volunteering within the racialized community, or planning my next travel adventure.

Growing up, I was deeply inspired by my mother — a fierce advocate who showed me the importance of serving others with compassion and purpose. That same passion drives my mission today: to empower families, educators, and communities to thrive through knowledge, creativity, and trust.

As an immigrant and a racialized woman, I’ve faced my share of challenges — from job loss to the struggle of forging my own path. Yet, those experiences have fueled my commitment to advocacy, resilience, and empowerment for racialized families and children.

Through Spark Hope for Kids, I help educators and parents build stronger home–school connections and nurture children’s emotional well-being and cultural identity.

Through Spark Hope Studio, I design uplifting printables and creative tools that inspire confidence, self-expression, and belonging.

And through Amanda J. Edwin Paralegal & Notary Public, I provide professional services grounded in clarity, integrity, and care — because details matter when protecting what’s most important.

Every part of my work shares one purpose: to bridge worlds — life, learning, and legacy — with purpose and heart.

Join me as I explore life, share stories, and offer insights on education, empowerment, and diversity. Let’s connect, inspire, and spark hope — in every space we touch. 🌈
