About this listen

Join us for another thought-provoking chat this time with our guest Dr. Aja Denise Reynolds, an Assistant Professor at Wayne State University. With over 12 years of experience as an educator and youth worker, Dr. Reynolds discusses creating 'fugitive' spaces for Black girls through art, activism, and healing. She highlights the dual nature of schools, community support, and the impact of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives while advocating for radical, accountable approaches to education that prioritize the needs of Black children and their families. Dr. Reynolds encourages future educators to pursue equity and justice unapologetically.
