  • I'm Not New to This... I'm True to it!

    We sat down with Rachel, Founder, and CEO of Rachel Vicente Consulting. She is a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategist, coach, and trainer. We discuss identity and the important work of unlearning the ways we have been socialized and conditioned and relearning as a means of challenging white supremacy culture. As we journey through Rachel’s educational experience we learn the value of reflection, authenticity, and the power of consistently interrogating who am I and how is it that I want to show up in this space and in the work.

  • Celebrating Culture
    There's more to black history than MLK. In order to celebrate and pay homage to various cultures, histories and traditions we must do the research and plan ahead. Recognize various accomplishments, consult with multiple sources and encourage the exploration and sharing of all heritages and backgrounds. In affirming culture we must step out of our norms and diversify who we choose to celebrate. The links to articles referenced in this episode are shared below.

  • Hot Teacher Summer
    For 180 days educators are relentess in their efforts to support student growth and acheivement. The work of an educator consist of late nights and early morning.
