SBR 2 | Minding the Gap w: Nadia Lopez
Dr. Wendi is in conversation with Dr. Nadia Lopez, who is been lovingly called Ms. Lopez by innumerable young people and their families who attended Mott Hall Bridges Academy, the school she founded in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. In her TedTalk (https://www.ted.com/talks/nadia_lopez_why_open_a_school_to_close_a_prison?language=en), she says she opened a school to close a prison.
In this episode, we discuss her path and experience as an educational leader and her decision to leave the profession to heal mentally and physically. Nadia’s good work was made very public when one of her students named her as one of the most important people in his life in a Human’s of New York feature (see link: https://www.humansofnewyork.com/post/108838763416/a-couple-days-back-i-posted-the-portrait-of-a). Nadia’s impact on the lives of her students and the staff at her school was huge and unfortunately, it came at a cost to her health. In our conversation, she shares her experience and the alchemy she’s performed turning the professional pain she’s endured into powerful lessons learned that she now shares with educational leaders through her consultation. Whether it is her Sunday support series, “Tea With Me”; organizational, individual, and group coaching consultation, or the development of her curriculum, The Blueprint (https://www.elevatedblk.com/the-blueprint), Nadia walks alongside her clients and community to find wholeness and wellness as they engage critical work for youth, schools, and communities. And most recently, Nadia launched a podcast, Detention (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/detention-with-dr-nadia-lopezpodcast-episode-1/id1614518774?i=1000554139618) in which she invites disruptors and rebels in conversation about how to change the field of education for the better.
