School, Passion and Politics

In this episode Tashieanna O’Connor is joined by Brigette Brantley, an educator from The Bronx and an activist from Da People’s Academy.

Listen in on this inspiring conversation as Bri talks about her activism at the George Floyd protests and her experiences going viral from an interview with the local news.

Bri used the visibility from going viral to help her fund raise and use it as a springboard for fundraising for the community and activism.

But she’s also a beloved history teacher who uses modern ideas to give context to history and help her students to see the truth of the world and explain how things are. And she offers clear and empathetic insights on politics, immigration and community.
