In this heartfelt episode of the Know Your Rights Camp podcast, education advocate Charli Cooksey delivers a powerful message: teachers should be honored and paid like athletes, because they shape futures every day. She shares how her mother’s activism lit a fire in her during high school—one that now fuels her work with Inspire STL and We Power to uplift Black and Latinx communities. From early childhood education to culturally relevant teaching, Cooksey makes it clear that schools must reflect and respect the lives they serve. Rooted in the lessons of Ferguson, she calls us to act—because real change starts with all of us.
