Black Women Be Knowing
A podcast for Black women teaching in the 'burbs and the rest of y'all, too!
We’re diving deep into the experiences, truths, and magic that no one else gets but us. Tune in as we unpack it all—unfiltered, unapologetic, and undeniably US.
Black Women Be Knowing
Deep Sigh
Venture through a variety of topics with us this week as we discuss the way we as Black women are viewed vs. how we see ourselves in and how that impacts us in the workplace, the lack of understanding Black women educators experience because of the luxury others have to not know our histories and traumas, and in particular how that lack of understanding impacts us in times like the current political climate. We cover a lot of ground this episode, but hope to spark some much needed conversation as we reflect on what feels all to real today.

This is difficult work that we're doing, and even though we can't always be with you to bear witness, trust us, we know... Welcome home!
