Thank you for bringing your lovely ears right here for a bonus episode of CALM Conversations about Learning where we lean in to re-envision our children’s education with and for the folks who matter most: teachers, parents and of course, our young folks!

If you're a grandparent who's IN LOVE with your grandchild/ren, and you are GRAND-parenting (raising) your grandchild/ren, you are in the right place today!

In honor of Grandparents Day, I had a conversation with visionary grandparent Rukiya Michele about the magic --and the complexities of --grandparenting her granddaughter, Olivia.

Rukiya Michele, who is an educator, podcaster, YeYe (Yoruba for "Big Mama"), parent, entrepreneur and  my long-time friend and sister also shares her own journey as a granddaughter and what she envisions for her grandchild's' education.

Thank you for leaning in and listening to this humanizing and insightful perspective!
