Andre and Mahoganëë Amigér stopped by the podcast to talk about the alternatives to steering Black kids away from the arts. Their work with Responsible Artistry is remarkable and notable. Check out the conversation. 

Mealy and Tudisco are both educators in the Charlotte, NC area. They are the hosts of the Unprofessional Development Podcast as well! They are both HILARIOUS hosts who realized that the best professional development they got as teachers were in these informal conversations in the teacher's lounge or during lunch when they got to have real, honest conversations with other educators. 

They share some of their wisdom and hilarity with me on episode 32 of Schoolish.
