This week's episode was necessary and special! If you are a Black woman in education, this episode is for you! For this conversation, I welcomed my good friend and thriving edupreneur Deidra Fogarty to the podcast to talk about her personal journey in education, the founding of Black Girls Teach, the need for school districts to create safe community spaces for Black women educators, and much more! To learn more about Deidra's work, you can visit the Black Girls Teach website at blackgirlsteach.com or follow @blackgirlsteach on all social media platforms. BIO: Deidra Fogarty is a native of Bridgeport, Connecticut and is currently an Educator, Literacy Consultant and Entrepreneur. Deidra has worked in education for over a decade in various capacities. Her natural leadership ability allowed her to venture into leadership positions in Washington Metropolitan area. After a decade working in education and frustration with the current state of it, Deidra decided to make a pivot in her career entering back into the classroom as a teacher. Deidra used this as an opportunity to develop her teacher craft by working with students who needed the most academic support. With her new setting and role, came a happier mindset, thus allowing her to use her time to focus on her other passions such as diverse children's literature, supporting teachers, providing resources literacy to parents and bringing awareness to current issues in Urban Education. She, along with her sister, launched a successful subscription service called WAM! Book Bundle where she provides a selection of diverse children's books to parents and educators each month. Through all of her ventures, Deidra realized that there was a void in Urban Education. Along her journey, there was never a support system, community or outlet for Black women in Education, besides her own educator friends. She knew that women like herself often felt isolated and frustrated with not being able to share their thoughts about Education and their role in it, unapologetically. She wanted to create a community where other Black women working in Education could discuss topics, get advice, share best practices and connect with one another. She wanted to create a way for more people to see and hear the perspective of Black women working in Education. Black Girls Teach was the solution. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/identitytalk4educators/support

“Fix Your Feet ®” focusing on the surgical correction of painful and embarrassing forefoot deformities, including bunions and hammertoes, using the Tiara-Toe™ technique is the brainchild of Dr. Yolanda Ragland.

In addition to her many services, Dr. Ragland offers comprehensive evaluations aimed at educating her patients on the best surgical procedure relative to their specific condition(s).

EP 105: CAnE Collective Clinton Jackson (CJ) Alexander, Aaron Joseph, and Ezra Allen started the CAnE Collective because they believed that there was something missing in the spirits industry. They noticed that there was a lack of understanding and education around one of their favorite spirits - rum. They set off on a mission to clarify the mysteries surrounding rum and utilizing their combined 46 years in the bar and hospitality industries, they began to do just through their creation of craft cocktails. The CAnE Collective has since developed into a consulting agency focused on helping spirit companies develop spirit marketing opportunities in the Washington Metropolitan area. What started as an educational platform for rum and cane-based spirits, quickly developed into a platform of education for combined collective professional working knowledge. CAnE became a means to show their passion and appreciation for all spirits.   Today, CAnE Collective is following through with their promise to create craft cocktails that highlight the spirits they represent by way of the CAnE Mixers. These mixers were created to bring the experience of craft bartending directly to people’s homes. Comedian Ivan Martin has produced over 200 Comedy Shows in the City of Baltimore.

The Washington Metropolitan Investment Club or WMIC was founded in March of 1992. The club started with 10 members and has since grown to 29. Our bylaws and operating procedures were created and limit the club to 35 total members. The club meets once a month, normally on the third Saturday. WMIC club members are residents of the states of Maryland and Virginia and the city of Washington, D.C. Many of the club members are either veterans of the military or employees of the Federal Government. Also, many of the members attend the same church. As you can tell, the club is a very close-knit group. WMIC is currently a $1 million-plus investment club, with a current portfolio of 29 stocks and two mutual funds. For the past couple of years, our portfolio has averaged on an annual basis, $20,000 in dividends. Of course, these dividends are reinvested as part of the club's long-term investment strategy. WMIC has been a long-standing member of BetterInvesting and been featured in the Washington Post, NBC Business News, the Potomac News (local newspaper), and of course, BetterInvesting.
