A conversation around Implicit Bias feels appropriate at this moment.

On this episode we'll define Implicit Bias, discuss it's origin and how it manifest in the workplace and the classroom.  We also take time to honor the life of Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man who was profiled, followed and gunned down on February 23rd, 2020 in Georgia. 

We also mention a link to take the Harvard Implicit Association Test to measure your Implicit Bias - Here's the link: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html

To be a part of our weekly LIVESTREAM - TUNE IN @ 7 PM on Thursdays.

Quarantine fatigue is REAL! (That doesn't mean we're running back outside without protection though) 

In regards to public education - Quarantining as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated the inequities that exist within the public school system. Some students lack of access to technology, consistent internet access, and other learning materials existed before we were all stowed away in our houses. 

So we shine a light on what we need to do to alter the status quo and begin to shape a "new normal" for public education, especially for our Black & Brown students.

Oh and we're started a new challenge - #2E100kInMAY. Tune in for the rest!
