In this insightful episode of Dr. B Teaches & The 7th Generation Podcast, I sit down with my former student, Samantha Caldera, a proud Chicana and Indigenous scholar currently pursuing her master’s degree. We reflect on our time at the Social Justice Center and discuss the transformative power of education, the realities of living in Fresno, and the importance of community-driven change. Samantha shares how her cultural identity shapes her perspective on academia and social justice work, offering a powerful testament to resilience and the value of forging strong community bonds. Join us for a heartfelt conversation that explores the intersection of culture, education, and advocacy, inspiring us all to keep learning and growing.
