In this episode, I welcomed my good friend Ben Tinsley to the podcast to talk about his upbringing in Long Island, NY, how he developed his passion for learning French, his own evolution as an educator, and the importance of incorporating the counterstories and lived experiences of Afro-Franco people into the French curriculum. To learn more about Ben's work, you can visit his website at afrofranco.com or follow him on Instagram and Twitter (@afrofranco2).
