Explore Black History: Elijah McCoy, Inventor and Engineer

This biweekly podcast is for your kids to learn Black history in the fullness and beauty of what the Black experience entails from Africa to the African Diaspora. I will share historical facts about people, places, and events from a strengths-based perspective to enhance your child’s exposure to and appreciation of Black history. One that will allow your children who identify as Black to take pride and ownership in their rich history and legacy and to correct notions and widen narratives of what it means to be Black in the United States and the world for all children.
