“School could be a way to open up more doors.”
Dr. Nicole Evans
In this episode Elena talks with Dr. Nicole Evans, former principal and current Executive Director of Urban Education and Student Engagement at Harris-Stowe State University. The two explore how Dr. Evans pursued a commitment to making equity “the plate” and not an add-on during her time as principal of City Garden Montessori, a public school in St. Louis Missouri.

- You want to hear the story of how one principal lived into the calling of what Dr. Bettina Love calls “freedom dreaming.”
- You’re working to create more inclusive and welcoming spaces for all students and families.
