Episode 5: Black, White, and the Gray Area of Trust in Education
In this thought-provoking podcast episode, join us as we dive deep into the complex dynamics between black students and white teachers in the education system. We will shed light on the journey of black students who navigate a system that may not always prioritize their best interests.
In a candid and insightful conversation, we delve into the crucial concept of trust in the classroom and explore how trust is built and sometimes eroded, and its significant impact on the educational experience of black students. Drawing from personal experiences, we share stories that reflect the challenges, biases, and aggressions that black students often face.
We will discuss allyship and the vital role it plays in fostering a supportive environment for black students and explore what it means to be an ally and the responsibility that white teachers have in recognizing and dismantling systemic barriers that contribute to the school-to-prison pipeline.
Throughout the episode, we highlight the positive contributions that black female educators bring to the educational landscape and emphasize the importance of representation and cultural competency in fostering an environment that empowers black students and helps them thrive.
