Chronicles of Mister

Hi everyone and welcome to the Chronicles of Mister. Today’s podcast is with Jonah Craggett. I had the honor of working with Jonah at a charter school in New Haven Connecticut where we were the only Black male teachers in the middle school. We were hired due to a cohort of kiddos who were labeled as “too much” for the other middle school teachers. However, what myself and Mr. Craggett came to see...

Hey there everyone, In this episode of the pod, I am so excited to have Kevin Holloway Harris.

One of the main reasons that I’m so excited about this interview is that Kevin has the unique...

Hey everyone, In this episode I get the chance to chop it up with Dr. Barry Harris who is currently in Hawaii. I first met Dr. Harris back when we were both serving kiddos in Georgia.

Hi there everyone, today’s episode is with Principal Sanon.  In this episode we talk about compensation, salary and how to negotiate. This is a dope conversation that frankly I wish I had heard when I first started teaching. Knowing your worth is one thing but knowing HOW to advocate for yourself is another. I normally would break this conversation into at least 2 parts however I’ve received...
