EP09 YouTube Is My Other Classroom, with Katrina Stacie


Listen Later

Katrina is a first-year teacher and she teaches ethnic studies, which is a new high school requirement in California. In fact, she started teaching a long time ago - not in a traditional classroom, but on social media platforms like YouTube, where she creates videos on how to live sustainably, reflectively and purposefully. Once she becomes a licensed educator, she finds that her YouTube experience can enhance her teaching career - either by helping her fight the beginner’s burnout or letting her debunk the misconceptions about ethnic studies.

In this episode, Lulu talks with Katrina Stacie, an educator, SGV/LA Native, Chinese-American, child of Chinese-Vietnamese Immigrants, family gal, YouTuber/Content Creator. She suggests smiling to ourselves (and the ceiling) before we get out of bed each morning, and “never not chasing a million things we want”. YouTube @Katrina Stacie / Instagram @katrinastacie
