Absolutely Not

The final episode of Absolutely Not! In episode 10, my friend of fourteen (!) years, Sydney Seau, talks about losing her father, NFL superstar Junior Seau, to suicide. She lets us in on all the things that have (and haven’t) helped her on the long, non-linear journey of grief. PLEASE reach out if you need help! Call 1-800-273-8255 (24/7). If you’re interested in learning more/supporting the cause of suicide awareness and prevention, check out and consider donating to AFSP.org (shoutout Jamie!).

This is part 2 of the two-part series on education, where I speak with Liv (former teacher, current principal) and Viv (former teacher, current charter school founder) about contemporary issues AND solutions (!!!) within education. We explore the charter question, the lack of respect given to educators, the use of schools as resource hubs, and so much more.

In part 1 of a 2-part education series, I chat with four of my former students, whose ages range from 13 to 16. We discuss what it's like attending online school during a pandemic, the parallels of gender roles in a Latinx household and at school, the school-to-prison pipeline, and so much more. Tune in to be inspired by our incredible youth!
