The Exit Interview: A Podcast for Black Educators exists to document and honor the lived experiences of Black educators who have chosen to leave the profession. Grounded in archival justice, the podcast uplifts their stories as a powerful form of truth-telling, healing, and resistance. By centering Black voices and their reasons for leaving—and staying—it sparks critical conversations about wellness, racial battle fatigue, and what it truly takes to transform educational spaces into ones where Black educators can thrive.
