“We have to leave space for how are you, really? Are you well?”
CEO, Lyons Educational Consulting
Co-Host, The Exit Interview Podcast
Co-Facilitator, Black Educator Wellness Cohort
“Our stories need to be shared, our perspectives need to be shared. We belong in all places.”
In this week’s compelling episode, we speak with Dr. Asia Lyons, CEO of Lyons Educational Consulting, co-facilitator of the Black Educator Wellness Cohort, and co-host of The Exit Interview Podcast. With experiences spanning Detroit to Denver, Dr. Lyons shares her journey, from attending a gifted high school and navigating failure in college, to shedding light on the critical role of community colleges and nontraditional pathways into education (#shoutout to those bus routes!).
“You should think about being a teacher…”
Despite encountering academic and professional setbacks, including experiencing bullying and lack of administrative support, Dr. Lyons remained steadfast in her commitment to the field of education. She discusses the prevalence of white supremacy culture within the system and the importance of addressing racial battle fatigue. With only 4% of Colorado's teachers being Black, Dr. Lyons advocates for intentional efforts in both recruiting and retaining Black educators, emphasizing the importance of finding one's voice while prioritizing mental health. As she encourages listeners to explore The Exit Interview Podcast and engage with the Black Educator Wellness Cohort, Dr. Lyons leaves us with valuable advice on finding a supportive community focused on wellness and healing within the field.
