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. 

This episode is for you if: 

  • You’re ready to move past admiring the many and complex problems perpetrating inequities and begin creating something different. 
  • 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. 
  • You’ve considered if it’s time to leave an organization or a role where you are experiencing oppression.
