This podcast is a space for educators fighting the system from the inside. Hosted by me, Evalaurene Jean-Charles, coach behind Black on Black Education and the Liberation Library, this show is where secondary educators come to reflect, resist, and rebuild their classrooms as liberatory spaces without burning out. Each episode is a reminder that rigor, joy, and student voice are our resistance tools, and that when we use them intentionally, we push back against standardization, compliance culture, and systems that harm Black and Brown children.

When the Birds Fly Back: Lessons on Community, Creativity, and Liberation in the Classroom (feat. Okomfowaa Akosua Faye Harvey M.S.Ed)

This week on The Resistance: An Underground Educators podcast, I interviewed Akosua Harvey, an educator, author, and my friend, to discuss her journey in education, the importance of community, storytelling, and authenticity in teaching. We explore the challenges educators face, the power of affirmations, and the need for a supportive environment for both teachers and students. This conversation emphasizes the significance of seeing students as whole individuals and the role of educators in shaping the future.
