Big Picture Learning & Hip Hop Ed present: Leadership Journeys @ SXSWEDU
A celebration of educators and leaders of color
Date and time
Location
Fogo de Chao Austin (Rooftop)
309 E 3rd Street Austin, TX 78701About this event
We know that the paths of educators and leaders of color are not without obstacles. They work in and with communities who themselves are often barraged with conflict. And yet, they’re often tasked with being courageous and stern in the face of adversity. To withhold love and mask vulnerability. We whole-heartedly reject this premise.
We invite educators of color, and allies of the equity in education movement, to join exceptional system level leaders from across the country who embrace the notion that sharing deeply personal stories of vulnerability is the path forward toward collective dopeness.
This multi-media, DJ-fueled collaboration replaces turntables with slidedecks, but without the sacrifice of soul. Light snacks, beverages and real talk will be served.
Featuring:
Host - Carlos Moreno, Big Picture Learning
Panelists - Meisha Porter (President and CEO, Bronx Community Foundation; most recent former NYC Public Schools Chancellor), Nancy Gutiérrez (President and CEO, The Leadership Academy), & Roberto Padilla (2021 NY State Superintendent of the Year)
MC - Timothy Jones, Hip Hop Ed; DJ - Mickey Breeze
