Chief of Student Pathways for the New York City Department of Education, Jade Grieve, is our guest on this episode of Formative. From childhood activism, to becoming a restaurateur, through banking and government to education, Jade has followed her heart. She now says she’s landed on her passion and the thing that makes it easier to wake up in the morning — helping students get ready for their academic futures. 6th-grader, co-host Shamaya, shares her love of math and asks about what keeps us going even when we want to give up.
