Today we had Satoria Ray on the podcast. Ray is an 8th-grade social studies teacher in Dallas, Texas where she lives with her 30+ house plants. Her life revolves around inspiring young minds to channel their anger into action and volunteering in her local community. When she's not in the classroom you can find her travelling the world, helping others, and having uncomfortable conversations with her friends.
