Ep 276 - The Mentorship Suite Vol. 2: Tanji Harper

AirGo is excited to present The Mentorship Suite, a series of episodes exploring the joys, contradictions, and radical possibilities of this often fraught term. On this episode, we talk with Tanji Harper, the Artistic Director of youth dance ensemble and organization The Happiness Club. Tanji breaks down how ego disrupts care for young folks, the ways that she's learned to support the people she's trying to serve, the exhaustion of this work and world, and the temporality of mentorship.
