Summary

Buckle Up and Get Ready - Dr Adria Welcher takes on a journey through the educational system and the “black middle class”. We get personal on this one because not only is it so important but it is so highly relevant to every single one of us. Please pay attention because she holds no punches and gives it to you real and raw. We touch on what it is to be black and middle class, burning the bridge behind us, tracking in our schools, and the path forward. If you are black, progressive, conscious, or woke then this one is needed but be warned it will be tough as you grapple with the concepts presented. THIS EPISODE IS NEEDED!!! We also chat about the real black UNO rules and why did Ricky really go to the store in Boyz in the Hood Catch up to Adria via he email: Adria.welcher@morehouse.edu And don’t forget to get social with While Black - Follow us IG: WHILE_BLACK; TWITTER @whileblackpc; FB @whileblackpodcast or email: whileblackpodcast@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Right, so when you look at a school and you see it's predominantly black,

you're already like, I ain't seen my kids there.

0:42.0

Right? But it's a space that has already been

0:43.8

discarded. Right, they're not following what we're doing. What a rich

0:47.4

opportunity to teach our children what they're not learning in these other

spaces. And that's why I think we need to design a system that teaches

When they get that, their minds are open. As opposed to throw through this metal detector,

1:20.6

you sit over here, I'm gonna put you on an island over here in the corner by yourself. You're doing way too much.
