Interview: Stacy Bess
Stacey Bess is an author and educator, best known for Nobody Don't Love Nobody, which was made into a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie in 2011 called "Beyond the Blackboard."
Nobody Don't Love Nobody is the story of Bess' first teaching job, the only assignment she could find, at a school that worked with homeless children in a shelter. She was told she'd teach k - 6th grade, but she instead taught k - 12th.
Stacey has a BA in elementary education from the University of Utah. Her service has been recognized with a number of awards, including the National Jefferson Award for Greatest Public Service by Someone 35 Years or Younger. Other awards include: Delta Kappa Gamma Educator's Award, Rescuer of Humanity from Project Love, Distinguished Woman of the Year from the American Association of University Women.

Through ups and downs and personal struggles - Bess taught kindergarten through sixth grade for 11 years at The School with No Name, an experience that affected a profound change in the teacher as well as her students. During that time she discovered that, by teaching and modeling love, self-worth, personal power, and courage, she could reach children with no homes and little hope, children who had previously been labeled "unteachable." These children grew into living proof that Bess' methods work. To inspire and motivate others with a passion for service, Bess penned the memoir "Nobody Don't Love Nobody", which was adapted into the April 2011 Hallmark Hall of Fame movie Beyond the Blackboard starring Emily VanCamp.
