Mama2mama's podcast

In this episode of the MAMA2MAMA podcast, we explore the cross-generational experiences of Mama Kristy Jackson and her mother, Mama G, when it came to advocating for their children in schools. We specifically explore how they both knew their children were gifted and what was done to support them along their journeys to securing the best education possible!

This episode of the MAMA2MAMA podcast features Rebeccah Bennett, Founder and Principal of Emerging Wisdom, LLC. Tune in as she gives insight into her mothering journey, specifically as it relates to loving in the midst of advocating. Her message is one of inspiration that, among many other things, encourages Mamas to recognize the power and agency they possess when it comes to making the demands necessary in securing an education for their children that recognizes and honors their genius!

In this episode of MAMA2MAMA, I interview Sherita Love, Founder of ExpandED Equity Collaborative. Together we explore her journey as a student, parent, educator, and education entrepreneur in K-12 schools. This conversation lends itself to gems that include but are certainly not limited to supporting a child who's been consistently and negatively labeled; and how she turned the tragedy Mike Brown's murder into the catalyst for her mission.

Ever since meeting Tango Jackson through the UMSL Edpreneur program, I've striven to remain unapologetic in doing what I know is right. If Tango's name sounds familiar, it's probably because you've read about or seen her in the news actively advocating for the equitable education of her children--fearlessly taking on school boards and administrators. It was an absolute honor interviewing her for the second installation of the MAMA2MAMA podcast, and it is my hope that you learn as much from her as I have! Enjoy, family; and Happy Birthday, brilliant Tango!

In the inaugural episode of the MAMA2MAMA podcast, I interview my own mother about both her student and mothering/othermothering experiences in the U.S. education system; as well as the work she's done towards healing in the Black community.
