In this episode, Elijah interviews education leader Donnell Cannon. Cannon was a principal in Edgecombe County, Elijah’s home county, for 5 years and is now the executive director of district transformation and redesign for the school district. The two talk about resources — what they are, where to find them, and how to utilize them for resilience.
