The Urban Assembly and SEL4US invited communities across the globe to celebrate the importance of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) on the second annual International SEL Day on March 26, 2021.

In honor of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Day, we decided to record an episode explaining the importance of looking at the "whole child" and not just academics by integrating SEL. In addition, we detail how SEL relates to all of our various research topics (e.g., Trauma, Teacher Wellness, Executive Functioning & Self-Regulation). 

Today's episode is titled "My Life Matters." Tune in as we talk about sacrifices we made prior to entering our Ph. D program and how we handle self-care. 

To kick off Women's History Month we want to celebrate the essence of being a woman, specifically a black woman, and all the weighted glory that comes along with it. 

In this episode, we discuss how we balance, beauty, brains, and our beautiful blackness with tips on how we strive to ensure we stay true to ourselves while we continue our Ph.D. journey in special education.

Episode 02: How it Started…How it’s Going.
