Welcome to Our Bookseum Podcast — a bold space for teachers, principals, and education leaders to speak their truth, UNapologetically, 24/7. In every episode, we spotlight voices from across the U.S., unpack the realities of being Black and Brown in education, and set the tone with the full-length original poem by Fanta Ballo, written to capture the heart of our mission. This is UNtenured — because in our house, speaking your truth can NEVER go left… because it's your RIGHT. Tune in for three micro-segments that keep the convo real and raw: “Oh Hell No” – moments that make you say exactly that. “Deuces” – departures from the norm we need to call out. “They Say… You Say” – clap back with perspective and truth. Subscribe, listen, and tell a friend to tell a friend — because in our house, your voice matters. Stay blessed & speak YOUR truth.
Episode 9 ~ Shauna Brown aka Queen Teach for the Culture! Hartford, CT is in the building. We are HUGE fans of Teach For The Culture LLC and have their Founder here with us to chop it up. This conscious convo for the culture will leave you inspired and HYPE to stay ten toes down for being audaciously YOU in educational settings. We're giving mixtape vibes and talking about it all from our love for grandmothers, to being a hip hop head, to KRS One, to fresh kicks and black faces in white spaces. Shauna is dope BEYOND the rubric and we are MORE than a bookstore so you KNOW this will be a goodie!
