This week’s episode is with Karl C. Pupe who has been a teacher for 12 years in different specialisms of the education system.

Welcome back to another episode of the B&R Podcast. Devan is a writer, storyteller, and founder of Unreeling Storytelling, a Brooklyn-based storytelling show providing a platform for repressed perspectives of people of colour, women, and other marginalized individuals.

We discuss his life experiences, fatherhood, therapy and trauma. I hope you enjoy this conversation.
