A Teacher’s Journey: From Puerto Rico to NYC (Pt. 1)

This week, I’m joined by my favorite teacher, Mariely, who shares her journey from Puerto Rico to New York City and the challenges she faced navigating a new culture, a new city, and a new school system.We talk about imposter syndrome, the realities of teaching in the South Bronx, and the expectations placed on educators of color.It’s a powerful conversation about resilience, belonging, and the work it takes to show up for students every day.
