Interview w/ Tracy Weeden
Dr. Tracy Weeden leads us into a deeply personal and honest discussion around her work and her passion, particularly the conviction that literacy is the currency of the 21st century and that we need to educate ALL of our children well so that they can have a “place at the table.” Tracy talks about her beginnings as the oldest of seven children (her “first classroom”) and “Bessie’s Book Club” as early influences. Her words of wisdom include acknowledging that we don’t know what we don’t know so we must strive to be “better not bitter.” She defines memorable acronyms for FEAR and FAITH, and advises young people to not answer the question, “What do you want to do?” but answer the question “How do you want to change the world?”
Tracy has indeed done her part to change the world, and for that we are grateful. This discussion will inspire, motivate, and touch your heart.
