  • I love the show!!

    I love your podcast and I’m not a teacher nor do I live in Texas! But I’m a mother vested in my children’s education and I always get tidbits of valuable information and it’s great to hear it from a teacher’s perspective. I love how much you care for the black and brown babies. We need more people like you.

  • Love from Florida

    I LOVE your podcast. I am a teacher from Florida and I have been following you on TikTok.

I didn’t really know anything about podcasts but I finally started listening in June and this is so much better than TikTok! I love how real you and your co-hosts are especially when discussing things that affect our teachers and our students. It’s like sitting around with my teacher friends. When... more

  • 💙💙💙

    I love this podcast. The host keeps it real and even though I am an educator in another state, I relate all too well to the topics discussed. As education undergoes a transformation, we need truthful voices like this to acknowledge what is going on within the field of education.

  • Teachers that look like me

    I am currently a Training Developer and will be pursuing a M.Ed in the fall. I’m also the product of educators so this podcast is very refreshing. I understand that being an educator in these schools systems can make one feel unappreciated but just know we’re out here celebrating and affirming all of you. Keep up the great work.
