Catégories:

As a teen, Jason Brooks left his hometown of Watts in South L.A. to attend an all-boys boarding school. While he was there, he encountered many racist incidents with no adult to guide him through those experiences. That ignited his passion for teaching because he wanted to be there for kids like himself. In this episode, Jason recalls his teen years and speaks with his mentor Troy Kemp about how they reach and teach Black boys.  Resources: Harkness AI https://www.harkness.ai/ Troy Kemp Speaks https://troykempspeaks.com/ The 1954 Project https://www.1954project.org/ The Cafe Group https://www.thecafe.org/who-we-are/our-team This podcast is brought to you with the generous support from The Walton Family Foundation.
