Breana Hudson
In June 2026, during Head Start WEST’s First 1,000 Days! Early Head Start Conference, we asked attendees to share a sixty second Head Start story.
This is Breana Hudson from Family Support Services of West Hawaii

“Hi, my name is Breana Hudson, and I work with Early Head Start Family Support Hawaii in Kona on the Big Island. My story is about myself. So the person is Breana Hudson. The challenge was of being a single mom, coming out of homelessness and addiction. The shift was, is, or was. My home visitors supporting me through all the tough things, having that support, having that one trusted adult, not feeling alone, helping me move forward and just not go backwards and to keep my children to have the life that I want. The outcome was I beat homelessness. I beat addiction. I am now working for Early Head Start in a career and I’m stable with my children. The ask is to continue to be able to help other families with similar situations in my community. Thank you.”
I have been to management workshops, not leadership training. This has totally changed my perspective and encouraged me to propel forward in developing my skills.
I am honored and humbled to be a recipient of the Head Start WEST’s Legacy Scholarship. The scholarship helped me get one step closer to achieving my goal of becoming a Head Start Director.
I took part in The disproportionate impact of COVID 19, and how to provide “real” support for black/brown children and families and I just want to say this was an amazing webinar. I hope we can look forward to further conversation on this topic.
Thank you so much for making events like this! I really enjoyed and learned so much teaching strategies to implement STEM in the classroom.
The HR Network was an excellent opportunity to network and learn the best practices from other HR professionals within Head Start programs. You will be amazed by the level of talent and experience of the participants.
The Summer Camp training was powerful and inspiring! Each presenter was very engaging, it’s hard to even pick a favorite session!
The Leadership Challenge training was very relevant to my work as a Head Start leader! Great facilitation; stayed with the program yet allowed time for individual and small group reflections.
