113. HGSE Global Citizen: Monique Brinson: Fostering the Whole Child by Embracing Identities

Today on the podcast, I spoke with Monique Brinson about her thoughts on global citizenship. Monique is a teacher and education leader with three decades of professional experience. She is originally from Massachusetts and now lives in Northern California. She shares her personal journey as a young learner confronting harsh opposition from societal pressures like race and class. Her awakening to the mission of education is beautifully told. From building her foundation and connecting to her deeper ancestral roots in Africa, she speaks to why she does the important work of educating youth for the world. Enjoy the conversation!
