What does it mean to be a positive role model in a young person's life? In this episode we're joined by the team from Black Men Teach for a powerful conversation about the impact of Black male educators, father figures, and mentors in shaping the next generation. We explore the challenges and rewards of teaching, what it means to champion students when they're struggling, the importance of representation in education, and how schools can create environments where every child feels seen, valued, and supported. This episode goes beyond education and dives into leadership, identity, community, and the lasting influence adults can have on young people.
