homeroom is an international podcast bridging the education gap between the classroom and the living room by starting conversations impacting the next generation. In this episode, I speak with Samantha, a fellow film producer based in Baltimore—about her experience being a gifted and talented student, and my experience not being a gifted and talented student. We talked about the role her family had on her education journey, what catalyzed her to focus on living out her own interests and goals, and our hopes of keeping certain subjects alive.
