Welcome to the first episode of The Resistance, a podcast for underground educators fighting the system from the inside. This first episode is my truth about why I do this work and who I do it for. It's an unpolished walk through my life, growing up as the oldest daughter of a mother battling addiction and mental health challenges, navigating seven schools in seven years, being thrust into adult responsibilities before I could even spell them, and still showing up every day ready to learn, lead, and love hard.

The way we’ve been trained to teach, manage, and “raise scores” is doing real harm. The Resistance is where we unlearn that mess. We stop saying “that’s just the way it is” and start building classrooms that center humanity, healing, and high expectations.

Whether you’re a day-one revolutionary or just starting to question the system, this episode is your call to get in formation.
