The Exit Interview: A Podcast for Black Educators is an award-winning podcast hosted and produced by Dr. Asia Lyons. It documents and honors 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 the reasons for leaving and staying, it sparks critical conversations about wellness, racial battle fatigue, and what it truly takes to transform educational spaces so Black educators can thrive. The Exit Interview is the first podcast archived at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
