Teachers are Earth's Mightiest Superheroes and their stories can inspire generations. The Black Educators Matter: Project 500 Podcast is on a journey to share the stories of 500 Black educators. Why? Research shows that Black students who have even one Black teacher are more likely to graduate, attend college, and see themselves reflected in positions of leadership. White students also benefit from learning from a diverse teaching force. This podcast is necessary because storytelling is the bridge that connects data to humanity—showing the world why Black educators matter.

"We need to see models and examples of people that look like us."

Hello, Season 3! We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Duane Davis back to the Black Educators Matter podcast for a special episode that introduces our new collaborative initiative, the Literacy Lounge. Dr. Davis, a passionate literacy advocate, emphasizes the critical role that Black educators play in shaping the future of students, especially as a model for those who may not have seen educators who look like them.

"Literacy is a movement."

Dr. Davis discusses the origin of the Literacy Lounge, a companion podcast aimed at uplifting the voices of authors, storytellers, and creatives in the education space. He reflects on the importance of literacy as a foundational element of education and its expansive role in various aspects of life, including STEM, art, and health. Dr. Davis shares his call to action for Black educators and creators, encouraging them to continue their vital work and support one another. He highlights the significance of community and representation in education, reminding us that every effort counts in the ongoing fight for equity and access.

Special thanks to Dr. Davis's family and the mentors who have influenced his journey. Join us as we celebrate the launch of the Literacy Lounge and the impactful stories that will emerge from this new platform.
