We all have that one teacher… the one who saw something in us before we saw it in ourselves. The one whose words, presence, or belief stayed with us long after we left their classroom.
In this episode, “My Favorite Teacher,” we sit down with guests to uncover the powerful stories behind the educators who changed their lives. In this episode, Dr. Semia Howze takes us back to the moment she met the teacher who left a lasting mark on her journey—and why that connection still matters today.
Because great teachers don’t just teach… they transform lives.
