King Jr. Widely commended for his lifelong dedication to education, Dr. King now wants to bring his fresh perspective as an educator to the governor’s seat of Maryland.

QUOTABLES:
“Whether it's K-12 educators or higher-ed faculty and staff, you see how all the other systems impact students and their families. Whether or not they have safe and affordable housing, whether or not they are food insecure, whether or not they have health care — all of those issues you end up interacting with as an educator.”
“That's one of the frustrations of this moment in our politics. We have the resources. The question is: Do we have the political will?”

What an amazing podcast! I’ve received so much value from these conversations and experiences. This podcast is shedding light on some very important topics, especially in todays climate. I have been loving every moment! Diverse In The Margins is most definitely worth the listen!
I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
