Ep. 15: Educating Our Black Boys

Kenya Scott is an entrepreneur living between DC and GA with her husband and 10-year-old son, Malcolm. I see her as a mother who saved her black son from being caught up in the medicated student money-making system that pays Big Pharma and justifies treating black boys like non-humans who need medication and harsh punishments.

 

In Episode 15, Kenya and I talk about the trauma black children face in the school American school system, seeing the value in intentional learning communities, and why we should stop sleeping on Minecraft (yes, for real!). We also compare Sudbury Schools and ALCs (Agile Learning Centers) in terms of model (daily structure) and money (accessibility).
