7) "Teach for the Culture" (Shauna Brown)
In this special episode of IDTALK4ED LIVE, I sat down with my Temple big sister, Shauna Brown, who is the founder of the Melanin of STEM blog series and the educator lifestyle brand, Teach for the Culture, LLC. During our conversation, she discuss the importance of increasing STEM programming access to communities of color, the need for more African-Americans to travel to the African continent to connect with their diasporan brothers and sisters, and so much more! If you would like to connect with Shauna, you can find her on the following social media platforms:

She is the first female to serve in this role in the school’s history.
