This episode is inspired by Dr. Gholdy Muhammad’s best-selling book, Cultivating Genius: An Equity Model for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy as well as her second book, Unearthing Joy: A Guide to Culturally and Historically Responsive Teaching and Learning. I am in conversation with DeAngelo Blanchard, a NYC dance artist and educator. During our conversation, he reflects on his work in dance education with high school students, pursuing passions outside of teaching, unlearning deficit-thinking and harmful practices, and his advocacy for equity and access to culturally and historically responsive teaching for Children of Color.
