About This Episode: Today we walk with a 22-year veteran educator, restorative justice trainer, and Arizona's 2019 Teacher of the Year. Find out why this 6'7" Special Education educator (who is afraid of heights) repelled off of Phoenix's highest building and how Kareem found his voice through the social justice club that he now sponsors at his school. Dr. Neal ends the walk & talk by taking us back to 1995 and dropping the science, wisdom, and brilliance of KRS-One.
