In the first episode of Season 2, I speak to "The AfroEducator" Alexis Shepard from South Carolina about her experience as a coach and an educator dealing with the pandemic and creating conversations around racial inequality. Her ideas range from " creating space to process trauma" as well as how to present to your district/administration on how to invest in curriculum that addresses implicit bias
Alexis Shepard is a veteran educator from South Carolina. She has 9 years of experience in the elementary and middle school settings. Alexis is no stranger to burn out. After multiple encounters with burn-out, a desire to take steps towards more personal and professional development began the journey of teacher self-care and wellness. She created The AfroEducator to facilitate connections with like minded educators. She champions teacher self-care through education, reflection, and dialogue. Alexis believes that by sharing stories, she can inspire and empower teachers to teach and live authentically.
