No. 79: The Current State of Urban Education - An Educators' Round Table. Part ONE of THREE.

Hand Me My Purse.

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...

Friends and Kin this episode has been in the making for a long time! I have been wanting to sit down and speak with a table full of veteran educators for a while. I wanted to discuss the state of education and what they feel is going on. It’s important to me to provide a safe and brave space for people to share their stories with the world - and so I did. In this episode get to know the educators you will be hearing from, as they dive right into what they believe is one of the biggest obstacles schools in underserved communities are facing today.

I had 7 fellow educators to join me in conversation about what is going on in schools as we know it. We all work in the Baltimore City School District - in a community riddled with violent crime, trauma (direct trauma, vicarious trauma, generational trauma, etc.), lack and sometimes just flat out hopelessness. Tune in to hear part ONE of a three part series with these open, honest, caring and brilliant educators. Be sure to listen and get ready for parts two & three in the upcoming weeks!
