Episode 176 features Dr. Tia Barnes, a SEL researcher that focuses on culturally responsive methods. Dr. Tia and I talk about how there is a lack of diversity in the educational system and especially in SEL. She shares her thoughts about how there should be more opportunity for the minority as cultural appropriation is essential in the development of young kids. Dr Tia also shares her thoughts about self-care and several others experiences from her podcast. You may reach out to Dr. Tia Barnes through through her instagram @drtiabarnes, her twitter @drtianbarnes, and her Podcast called The Scholarly Self Care Podcast.
