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.

"Black educators matter because we are continuing a legacy from years before us."

Shanimarie Ogilvie

First Grade Elementary Teacher

"I strive to set a high bar for my students because I know they can achieve it."

We are thrilled to welcome Shanimarie Ogilvie, a dedicated first-grade teacher with a rich background in education. Originally from Jamaica, Shanimarie reflects on her transformative journey from a predominantly Black educational experience in her home country to navigating the challenges of a predominantly white school system in the United States. She shares how her early educators laid the foundation for her belief in high expectations and the importance of representation in the classroom.

"Teaching reading is one of my biggest joys."
With 17 years of experience, Shanimarie has held various roles, including instructional coach and supervisor, but her passion for teaching reading remains at the forefront. She offers invaluable insights for new educators, emphasizing the significance of mastering classroom management and the importance of self-care to prevent burnout in a demanding profession.
