What does it really mean to unlearn in education? In this special Thanksgiving episode, we pause for reflection—and reimagination—with Kwame Sarfo Mensa, a veteran educator, global consultant, and author of Learning to Relearn. As founder of Identity Talk Consulting and host of the Identity Talk for Educators Live podcast, Kwame is helping educators across the world interrogate bias, reframe school culture, and humanize learning through equity-centered practice.
