In the second episode of the fourth season, Dawn talks to Kendra James about her recent book Admissions: A Memoir of Surviving Boarding School. James shares a bit of her experience as the first Black American legacy student at a prestigious New England boarding school and how her time there shaped her work later in independent school admissions offices. They discuss respectability politics, the Black @ social media movement, the writing process as a powerful tool of reflection, and the imperative for independent schools to actively and intentionally build inclusive school-wide systems and cultures.
