In this bonus episode of the Black on Black Education Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Donna J. Nicol, a professor of history at California State University, Long Beach, to discuss the often overlooked but critical role that Black women have played in shaping higher education and civil rights activism beyond the 1960s. Dr. Nicol sheds light on the life and legacy of Dr. Claudia Hampton, the first Black woman trustee at California State University, and her relentless fight to save affirmative action. We explore the challenges, opportunities, and future of equitable access to higher education and how Black women have continually broken barriers to ensure justice and equity.

Education doesn't need more of the same, it needs us to focus on building positive school culture, see the true genius in our students, and help them learn and grow with love. But we can't make this happen, when there is a Dan leading your school. What is a "Dan" you might ask, tap in and I'll tell you all about it...

This hurts.

As we here in NYC wrap up week 4 of the school year I used this epsioed to reflect on everything I've learned so far. Educator friends, we do a hard job, and even though it took 5 years, I'm FINALLY learning to enjoy the journey.

Also, just as an FYI I had an incredible episode planned for this week but I didn't have time to effectively plan and do it justice, so in the name of consistency, I recorded this and it's really good if I do say so myself.

Hey Family! I'm so excited to be back with another episode of the Black on Black Education podcast because it has been TOO LONG!

In this episode, I reflect on how Black on Black Ed has evolved, the transition from co-founding with my father, and my renewed commitment to teaching and leading about the power of student voice and student-centered practices.

After being gone so long, I wanted to make sure I came back with a tool you to help navigate your student-centered teaching journey. That is why I’m thrilled to announce our new "I'm Just a Teacher, I'm Just a Student" guided journal set, designed to help both educators and students engage in meaningful reflective practices.

I encourage you to check out our past episodes, subscribe to our newsletter, and connect with us on social media.
