Meet Attania Jean-Funny, a proud southern girl who hails from the lovely community of Lake City, FL. Her journey to the United States began at the age of three when she emigrated from Haiti, accompanied by her father. While her biological mother remained in Haiti and sadly passed away, Attania found love and support from her adopted mother and the city that embraced her. Thanks to their care and encouragement, she never felt like a motherless child and was able to pursue the American dream with determination.

After excelling in high school, Attania’s academic journey led her to:

  • Florida A&M University (B.S. & M.Ed. in Biology Education)

Armed with her qualifications, she embarked on a fulfilling career in the education field, dedicating over two decades to shaping young minds as a science teacher and administrator. Witnessing her students flourish and lead productive lives brought unparalleled joy. A pivotal moment occurred in:

  • 2018-19 being named Teacher of the Year (North Clayton High School)

Attania is deeply devoted to ensuring effective representation within her community and her passion has been a driving force. She actively contributes to the betterment of her community by serving as:

  • Member of Southern Crescent Women in Business
  • Leader of the Social Justice Ministry at Tabernacle of Praise Church International
  • Community Volunteer with Clayton County Care in Action
  • Former Executive Board Member of Clayton County Education Association
  • Former Member of the Budget Committee for Clayton County Public Schools

Attania’s commitment to advocating for the community’s needs is further demonstrated through her active participation in meetings and forums with county leadership, including commissioners and school board members. She firmly believes that engaging in difficult conversations is essential for progress to persist. Through her multifaceted involvement, Attania strives to build productive relationships that will make a lasting impact on her community. These attributes make her the ONLY choice for Clayton County District 3 Commissioner.
