The EJT Show

Bárbara deeply believes that impactful and lasting transformational change comes first from within and that it is through what we do pedagogically that we change the world. Bárbara leverages her passion and skills as an educator, experience designer, facilitator, and transformational coach to support individuals and organizations at the nexus of identity development and liberatory pedagogy. As a first-generation, Brooklyn-born, Bronx-raised Latina and education-leader with over twenty years of experience, her identity, her personal and professional experiences, and her strengths have beautifully and powerfully become interwoven with her life’s work.

Bárbara holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Cornell University, a Master’s degree in Bilingual, Bicultural Education from Teachers College, Columbia University and a Professional Coaching Certification (ACC) from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching.

Bárbara is the owner and founder of Bárbara Escudero, LLC where her work centers on facilitating the individual and collective empowerment and liberation of historically marginalized, underserved communities globally through quality, holistic pedagogical training that centers Culturally Responsive/Relevant pedagogy and transformational, liberatory coaching.

Fahari is a passionate, charismatic, and experienced leader in School Climate and Culture. She specializes in Restorative Practices, Social-Emotional Learning, and Trauma-Informed Care and has a particular heart for equipping adults to take care of the hearts and minds of the youngest in the village. ​Fahari has well over a decade of school leadership, counseling, and restorative practices to her credit. 

Fahari frequently draws attention to the responsibility and privilege of working with and educating Black girls. Having seen how Black girls face more injustice and racist policy in education than any other race, her efforts serve to intentionally reinforce systems that are created to empower and uplift Black girls.

​Fahari's unique perspective as a transformative school leader and youth advocate in various settings including boarding and charter schools, youth detention and rehabilitation centers, as well as school district level positions informs her holistic insight. Her social work background (MSW) provides the framework for her approach, which has been refined and honed by practical experience and her passion to honor and uplift children and families. 

​

Fahari's dedication to honing spaces and people to be better for children extends beyond her work and into her own family; she is a D.C. native presently residing in suburban Baltimore with her husband and their four children.
