Well… I tried to keep the interview focused on Textured Teaching but your girl Lorena was wildin’ (dropped the “g” because she was out of control)!

Nonetheless, before she snuck in to give me a kiss, we managed to discuss:

    ◦    The impact of Textured Teaching since being published in Sept 2021
    ◦    What has surprised her along the way
    ◦    Textured Teaching can being utilized on the college/university level

I hope y’all enjoy this interview because it might be the last! I ain’t gon’ let Lorena turn Our Classroom into Love & Hip Hop! Sorry, not sorry!
