Season 2 Episode 10 Episode link: https://BalancedBlackEducator.com/podcast/s2e10 Summary The first step in our liberation work as educators is being able to notice and name some of the specific issues that are unique to the Black educator experience. In this unapologetic episode, I talk about terms such as racial battle fatigue, microaggressions, anti-blackness, and afro-pessimism and how these concepts play out within our educational environments often with harmful results. I conclude with what you can shift your focus on instead to help minimize the damaging effects of these experiences. The Balanced Black Educator podcast is a conversation with Dr. Siobhan D. Flowers about all things at the intersection of education and mental wellness for Black educators from K12 to Higher Ed.
