One of the biggest challenges I’ve been facing this year with my job is trying to keep kids motivated and teach them the importance of school. Everyday I usually hear a kid say “I hate school” or “school is stupid I don’t need school”. This has been an ongoing battle all school year, not only within our schools but within myself. The question I continue to ask myself is at what point or what happens to a student that they come to the conclusion that school isn't going to benefit them? Simi and I try to tackle my burning question this episode and try to find out, what is enough?
I couldn't think of a better way to start of the Amplifying Black Voices miniseries with none other than one of my biggest influences in life. Someone who's story is one of pain and struggling turned to triumph and success. My sister, Kayla Taylor. In part one of a two part sit down with her we reflect on our childhood, old memories of growing up in a single parent home and my sister's personal struggles in life that have made her into the person she is today.
