The Exit Interview: A Podcast for Black Educators

In this episode, Janet Stickmon returns to the podcast to talk to our audience about what healing from racial battle fatigue could look like. 

First of all.... have you signed up for our newsletter, Black Educators, Be Well?  Why wait?  

Amidst all the conversations about recruiting Black educators, where are the discussions about retention? The Exit Interview podcast was created to elevate the stories of Black educators who have been pushed out of the classroom and central office while experiencing racism-related stress and racial battle fatigue.

The Exit Interview Podcast is for current and former Black educators. It is also for school districts, teachers' unions, families, and others interested in better understanding the challenges of retaining Black people in education.

Please enjoy the episode.

 

Peace out,

Dr. Asia Lyons
