I’m currently working as an associate teacher and this past year, I really struggled a lot as a new teacher and as a women of color. I was struggling to articulate my feelings and thoughts. I felt that in the school that I work in, there aren’t a lot of people like me and I haven’t been acting like truest authentic self. And this had me feeling frustrated. When I came across this podcast yesterday, it gave me a lot of what I needed. I needed to hear people like me talking about what we’re passionate about and the societal and structural issues within education. You three also gave me language that I needed to describe what I feeling, experiencing and seeing in the school that I work in. And for that, I am truly thankful. I look forward to hearing the new episodes ❤️

Each of these guys bring a unique experience to the conversation especially in regards to educating Black and Brown children.

These three black men are reshaping the way we view education. My consciousness has shifted as a result of listening. Dope content. Doper brothas! Worth the listen!

No matter what your role in this world, collecting deep, thoughtful dialogue for how you make meaning is the way... add this one. This show is E for everyone out there seeking, IMO.

I listened to the very first episode years ago, and am now listening to season 2, episode 1 and I really enjoy it. I’m not sure there’s anything after this, but I’m glad to hear these conversations. In education, the stories and values I hear from Ed, Pat, and Marc resonate with me. It feels like I missed the last of their work, but I hope they find time to publish again To the three: thank you

Love the conversations. I appreciate the like mindedness coupled with the challenging each other. Sending links to my circle for sure!

A friend of mine recommended this podcast and I’m so happy I downloaded it. I am a woman of color with previous experience in the education system. I appreciate these conversations and no longer feel alone in my experience.

Edit quality has sped up the convo & everyone sounds like they’re speaking super fast... hard to connect to the points while trying to keep up with the speed. I’d recommend revisiting & making sure it’s listener friendly...

Absolutely love this podcast. Loving the perspective of three black men in education.

I love this podcast. I love the opportunity to hear about the experiences of three Black men in education and in world. As an educator of color, it is incredible to hear my experiences validated and analyzed. Every topic that has been touched upon has been so on point and I look forward to every episode. I appreciate the vulnerability and honesty present in each podcast. Thank you for making this happen!

A+++

I'm so glad I decided to give this podcast a listen. The conversation is captivating from the moment it begins. As a professional in education, it's not only rare to see black men in the field but also rare to see them feel comfortable in that space when you see them. So I appreciated the candidness of your conversation- the realness is necessary. Please keep sharing your perspective!

These brothers are doing their thing! Get into this conversation. I loved the first 2 episodes. I can relate as a social worker of color working in the Education system. This podcast is informative and thought provoking, looking forward to future episodes! This podcast is real, authentic and necessary!

This podcast provides a much needed perspective on education and should be required listening for every future educator.

This is amazing. I truly appreciate that organic conversation. 3 brothas speaking from their perspective. Listening to this podcast will help many understand the concept of black identity in education. As someone that works in higher education in a different capacity, I can definitely relate to some of the topics from this discussion. I will definitely be listening in. I’d like see the you featuring others in the future if their are segments in which you feel that it necessary! Great job gentlemen! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

5 stars all the way. Ed, Pat, and Marc provide such valuable necessary into their experiences as black men in education, and in the world more broadly. This is a must listen for anyone connected to education whether pre-service, working in school, or in the academy. Do yourself a favor and check this out.

Great discussion on being one’s true self as an educator. The thoughtful interrogation of ideas among 3 educated men of color is great and needed. I especially appreciate the risk taken throughout the dialogue of throwing out ideas, having those ideas heard, challenged, deconstructed and sometimes reframed. Talking this way among educators needs to happen more. Thank you for modeling.

I love the perspective that you all bring to the table. The bit about seeing each other as black men at a prestigious university and immediately having that “head nod” moment is key because there are some who would immediately classify themselves as “different/better than” their counterparts. I can appreciate that you acknowledged that this is not a “tutorial” because there are key elements that allow you all to teach your particular demographic such as, gender, culture, race, and geographic origin. I also can appreciate how you all hold each other accountable for your words. When it seemed as though you were speaking for all black women, one of you quickly explained the need to have a black women on the podcast to explain their take and that being black or being around black women does not necessarily qualify a black man to understand their point of view. I am looking forward to hearing more from you young brother and thank you for helping provide us with knowledge of how we can all create a space for us to share our thoughts and opinions on the subjects and situations we deal with regularly.
