On the sixth episode of Shit We Don’t Talk About; Mia chats with Marissa Calderon Jimenez, a bilingual early childhood professional who is waking us up when it comes to Latin representation in education, policies, and well...everywhere.

In early childhood education (which is a huge part of Marissa’s world) and everywhere else in the world, we are not talking about the fact that most policies, laws, and regulations have been written by people who don’t represent this population.

Three takeaways from this episode of the Shit We Don’t Talk About podcast.

1. Representation matters, and identifying with a person in authority matters, too.
2. Monolingual Spanish-speaking students and families are struggling to learn in the wake of COVID.
3. Being anti-racist is not just a stance; it is a way of life.
