What happens when you care deeply about education, but the personal cost becomes too great? Elisha Roberts, M.Ed didn't just want to change schools. She built one.
From challenging traditional school practices to creating spaces where students had a voice in their own education, Elisha spent years pushing the boundaries of what was possible. But innovation came with resistance, institutional politics, and sacrifices that extended far beyond the school building. In this episode, Elisha gets candid about navigating leadership as a Black queer woman, the painful reality of fighting for change, and why she ultimately chose to leave. She also shares how she's continuing her commitment to young people while redefining what wellness looks like for her. Because sometimes you don't leave because you stopped caring. You leave because caring shouldn't cost you everything.
