Season 1 Special Episode: The Danger of An Educated Black Woman

Join me  as I converse with Educated Black Females  and their take on their obstacles during their journey as Educators.  Stephanie Spivey, New Orleans, LA native  and Toi Robinson-Trice, New York native and Atlanta transplant who both currently reside in Charlotte, North Carolina. I have had the honor of working with them to change generations of our children.

Educators by heart, yet passionate and vocal about impacting systemic change to build bridges out of poverty.

"So my passion is moving or, related to that bridge out of poverty and impacting  systemic change.  I like to think of myself as an activist and that is what I do. [I am] not linked to a specific organization--it's just who I am."

"[What Power means...] Basically, [it can be used] in a negative way or positive way.  You can have the power to make changes, to make decisions, to influence them or to, even to blackmail them. You know, so if [they] don't do this a certain way, give them the ultimatum. [To use power] on the positive side you can be that trailblazer for the person and set things in order for them."
