Welcome to PART TWO of the “What would you do?” panel featuring the SWD or “sisters with degrees” including Maria A. Ellis (Girl Conductor), Jasmine Fripp (The Passionate Black Educator), Kanisha Howard (The Connected Black Educator), and Dr. Chantae Pittman (TheeDocP).

Join us for a candid conversation based on real-life scenarios from the classroom and rehearsals. Topics include classroom management, diversity and equity, decolonization, equity, repertoire, and so much more! This is a two-part episode, so make sure you listen to part one first (episode 61) as you’ll get to know the guests and their background and they reference some of their answers in part one during part two (episode 62).

Follow the guests on their social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Clubhouse.
