In this week's episode we talk to a remarkable woman, our neighbor, aka GramGram aka Joshua's mom, Beverly Silverstein. A man once said, "if you build it they will come" and he thought he was talking about baseball and some ghosts, but really no one exemplifies this leap of faith like a Black woman determined to empower her students by taking them on a life-altering trip to Ghana. And she did it for 13 years. Listen and consider how we all can benefit from the idea that the more we know about our own history the more we can be open and accepting of others. Consider how being Black in America is filled with interactions that pointedly assign meaning to who you are but mostly to who you are not and let this amazing educator inspire action not just for our educational system, but for society as a whole.
