Episode 34 - Mario Johonson

Mario Johonson is an expansive thinker and master educator: a teacher, counselor, consultant, and administrator with Masters degrees in Philosophy, Spanish Language, and Urban Education. Always learning, always thinking and rethinking how to help others see the world as it is. His experience as a Black, Puerto Rican man raised by a brilliant activist mother and a white stepfather,  and his years of experience as a teacher and administrator at a unique and authentically diverse independent school in Los Angeles allow Mario to bring a unique perspective to the current and historic climate of education and social movements in the United States. I so enjoyed my conversation with Mario. His perspective offer a penetrating understanding of some of the most challenging issues facing educators, facing all of us during these highly divided and  divisive times.
