I appreciate that Kwame centers the humanity of the educators he invites on his podcast. We get to learn about the backgrounds and stories of the amazing practitioners, which affords listeners a richer, deeper perspective into the how and why of their practice. Oftentimes in the teaching world, we’re quick to jump into strategies and solutions, but it’s just as important to slow down and get to know the person’s journey. As someone who was recently invited as a guest on Identity Talk, I’m thankful for Kwame posing thoughtful questions and taking his time getting to learn about my story.

It was a joy to join Kwame on this podcast to not only share about my work and journey from K-12 education to edupreneur but to discuss the importance of diversity and equity in educating children of color.
