Ink and Inspiration: A conversation with My Favorite Teacher

In this heartfelt and candid episode, I sit down with my favorite high school English teacher; the one who nurtured my love for words and first inspired me to consider a career in education, even though life ultimately led me down a different path. Her influence has remained a constant thread, shaping how I communicate, advocate, and show up for others.

Together, we reflect on the moments in her classroom that left a lasting imprint, the power of teachers to recognize potential before students recognize it in themselves, and the ways those early lessons still guide me today. We also discuss the evolving landscape of education and the challenges teachers face now more than ever.

This conversation is a tribute to every educator who pours into their students without always knowing the long-term impact, reminding us that the lessons they teach continue to live on in the lives they touch.
