What does it mean to try to do liberatory work inside a system designed to break you?
In this searing clip from The Exit Interview: A Podcast for Black Educators, Jamilah Pitts invokes the words of Toni Morrison and Audre Lorde to name the spiritual and emotional cost of working in toxic educational spaces.
She breaks down how racism, even when unnamed, functions to derail your purpose—and how self-care for Black educators isn’t luxury, it’s preservation. This moment is for every educator who’s been gaslit while trying to build something better.
