What are common mistakes that educators make when trying to address systemic racism and oppression?
How do we better address education systems so that they support the success of people of all identities?

In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, anti-racism educator, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill interviews Nadia Bennett, founder of an education consulting firm that leads the way for schools to become anti-racist learning environments through culturally-relevant leadership development and mentorship. They discussed the common mistakes made in the education space in the name of anti-racism, and the importance of making people feel safe in order to do the deeper work of anti-racism.

As a proud Black female entrepreneur, Nadia Bennett currently leads her team at When Brown Girls Lead™ to make sure all students are receiving the equitable education they deserve.

Her passion for championing change was strengthened during her time at Dillard and Howard Universities, where she received her Bachelor’s degree and Master’s in Education Administration and Policy. In addition to supporting anti-racist environments in education through her current work, she is also pursuing her doctorate degree. When she is not helping make impactful change across the country, Nadia keeps her mind primed by enjoying time with friends, reading and traveling internationally. She has also been known to binge watch a show or two.
