Black educators come to a job with community and leave the job because of community #sxsw2025

In this clip, Dr. Asia Lyons reminds us that Black educators never move through this profession alone. When we get the job, we text our people. When the job starts to break us, we call those same people—and they’re the ones who say, “F that job, I got you.”

Too often, HR teams and school leaders focus on recruitment and forget: Black educators come with a network—a chosen family who sees the harm and steps in with support, resources, and exit strategies.

If retention efforts don’t recognize that, they’re missing the heart of what keeps us (or pushes us) out.
