Blacktivism In the Academy

Eavesdrop on our kickback as we talk with some very smart friends!

Thank you again to Nate Williams, Candace Hall, Dominic Dorsey, Derek Houston, andTerry McTier for taking time to kick it with us on mic! 'Preciate ya!

Notes:

03:02 - about 2% of U.S. public school teachers are Black men.

22:04 - If (like our producer) you've never seen "Lean On Me", this will make much more sense after you familiarize yourself with the story.

Cherese and J.T. have a conversation with Dr. Gilo Kwesi Logan. He's a man with such an expansive story to tell and there's no way we can fit it all into a podcast episode, but we tried our best to hear more about his experience with "Black Roses", reuniting with his former 6th grade student (Dr. Chezare Warren), finding his identity through world travel, and much more. Make sure you listen to part 1 for a more complete story!

Also, if you're curious about the Cherese's world travels, she traveled to Ghana through Om Noire: https://www.omnoire.com/

J.T. sits down with Chezare Warren to talk about empathy in scholarship, finding harmony, and reconnecting with his 6th grade teacher.

Order his book About Centering Possibility in Black Education

Listen next week, for part 2 where we get the story from his 6th grade teacher!

We swing by for a discussion with Angel Jones about public scholarship. We get into the reach of public scholarship, the treasures and challenges, Dr. Jones' path to her current platform and even get into a little East coast West coast hip hop debate. It's a good time over here!
