This week, Alexis sits down with Austin Razavi—the Dean of Students at Oakland Unity Middle School in Oakland, California. The two chat about Austin's childhood, growing up Iranian, and the immense struggles he faced as a first year teacher in deep East Oakland. His work ethic and resiliency is so inspiring and he has some great advice to share. This week's challenge is to make a budget, girl!

Be sure to follow Austin and the students along on Instagram at @unitymiddleschool.
