This special episode is about education reform and my personal experience within a school district that has experienced teacher strikes over the years. There's legislation out there that seeks to keep our kids uninformed and neutral to basic human rights. I'm dedicating this episode to Black female teachers especially because you rarely get your flowers and to all dedicated educators out there, thank you for your service.
