The Educator's Crown

What does it look like to treat your hair as a space to play, experiment, and express who you are? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Claire, an award-winning math educator who is now a university instructor and entrepreneur. From fades to purple fauxhawks, Claire is never afraid of a major hairstyle change. Twice she chopped it all off and started fresh, embracing each new look with confidence. She tells the hilarious story of walking into a classroom of middle school students with her bold new look, wondering how they would react. And she shares how seeing a teacher wear natural hair for the first time made her curious and excited to try it herself, at a time when natural hair was almost never represented in media. Claire is funny and animated, so this conversation will bring laughs and fresh energy while reminding us that hair can be both playful and powerful, a crown we shape to show who we are.   ✅ Help more people find us by subscribing to this podcast.
