We've made it to Episode 3.
I met Erik teaching at a small charter high school in East Oakland about five years ago. Erik and I have shared values around the importance of equalizing the education system and understanding the challenges of young students and families today. Erik shares stories from growing up, learning about himself and his community, building resilience, being the first in his family to go to college, and heading north to Berkeley.
