BLM Presents: What Matters

Reimagining Our Education


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the deep inequities in our education system. Inspired by the Black Panthers' Oakland Community School, we discuss how education can shift to a community-driven holistic model that uplifts and empowers students. We call for a radical reimagining of public education that prioritizes culturally relevant teaching, mental and physical well-being, and family engagement.


This conversation highlights alternative models like community-based schools and technological innovations, emphasizing the importance of advocating for our children's education, and creating schools that support their identities and limitless potential.

The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the individual participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policies or positions of the organization.

In this podcast, BLM brings together four very different voices for a candid community conversation about the issues that matter most to us. We cannot wait for any party or president to address the needs of our people directly; we have to do it ourselves.

While we strive to present diverse perspectives, our goal is to foster an open dialogue and community-building. We invite your feedback and encourage you to join the conversation through our socials. As always, listener discretion is advised, and we encourage critical engagement with the topics discussed.

Thank you for supporting BLM as we continue to amplify voices in our community.
