In this special podcast, we are featuring students from the high school’s Africa elective course. This course offers a supplement to the mainstream history curriculum allowing students to explore alternative stories and perspectives within history and life. This podcast is compiled of a series of interviews, which explore several facets of African culture. Students discuss their intellectual and emotional discoveries surrounding protest music, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s literary work–specifically with Half of a Yellow Sun– the movie Ife– which offers insight into LGBTQ+ relationships in Nigeria– artistic resistance, and popular African poetry. We hope you enjoy!

In this podcast we continue our discussion of why clubs like C.A.R.E. are important in predominantly white schools. C.A.R.E. is a social justice club dedicated to educating our school's students about ongoing social issues and providing students with a platform to discuss their thoughts and experiences regarding these subjects. As leaders, we have, first hand, observed how C.A.R.E. has provided for our school's community, so, in this podcast, we share why it is vital that all schools have clubs like C.A.R.E., some of which include amplifying BIPOC voices, helping improve student's mental health, and educating students on important, but rarely discussed, topics. 

In this podcast episode, Frankie, Steph, and Yayla take time to delve into the topic of allyship. More specifically, they note key differences between performative allyship/activism in comparison to real, authentic allyship. After watching this episode, take time to reflect on your own allyship. Where do you stand on the spectrum of advocacy and activism?

In today's short podcast episode, Faria, Darrah, and Frankie specifically talk about the importance of social media when promoting a club like CARE. They go in-depth about the various awareness series they’ve done, aesthetics/creation of posts, and much more!
