What are some ways that school districts can keep Black educators? Here is what Elia R. Martin had to say on her episode.

I'm diving into a thought-provoking book that sheds light on the darkest aspects of human history. The Atlantic Slave trade. It’s called The Narrative of Frederick Douglass. This powerful narrative explores the depths of human greed and the atrocities committed in the name of forced labor. It's a stark reminder that over 50 million individuals are still trapped in modern-day slavery. The story of Frederick Douglass, shared by a man who experienced the horrors of slavery firsthand, is both unique and compelling. The vivid descriptions and detailed accounts evoke a range of emotions, from anger to a deep sense of responsibility. As a black man, I've delved into numerous books detailing the history of western societies. Now, I urge everyone to take the time to uncover this important piece of black history. It may be uncomfortable, but it challenges us to confront our stance on both sides of history. #BlackHistory #FredrickDouglass #HumanRights #Education #Reflection #BookRecommendation #VOC #Slavery

I’ve always had awesome male mentors, bosses & sponsors in construction & life. (PS - when it’s only 3-10% of ”you” in an industry, you need to work with those who are the 90% to initiate the change). I could join 4000 women’s orgs - & I align with the ones I feel are making meaningful strides of needle-moving. But I’m also here to say if we don’t make safe spaces for men in leadership to unpack what TRULY needs to be done - we’re not getting anywhere. I’m 47 & that needle has only moved a few percentage points in the 25 years I’ve been around. STEM? Women can claim at least 30% in the industry in the same 25 years & that’s thanks to many male c-suites getting on board w/ “authentic vulnerability.” Guys: I’m swinging a pendulum, not a bat. Read it & let’s get vulnerable about how we can help you in your seat or your company explore this change. #diversityequityinclusion #weneedmensconferences #womenalreadygetit #womenintrades #tradesarestem
