They're Already Here: Formerly Incarcerated & System-Impacted Students
Manage episode 307800906 series 2851664
Ep 41
To have the courage to say that one is system-impacted is just the tip of the iceberg in this thought-provoking conversation with Dra. Melissa Abeyta. Dra. Abeyta is working with her Scholar Homies to encourage institutions of higher education to pay attention to a student population that is already present on their campuses: formerly incarcerated and system-impacted students.
In her conversation with La Profesora, Dra. Abetya shares what is possible if institutions respond to the needs of this student population and the challenges of navigating academic spaces that do not seem receptive to this critical issue. We also talk about AcademicSoul, a small business dedicated to uplifting our gente in academia!
Our Poet-in-Residence and in Resistencia, Cecilia Caballero shares a poem co-authored by women who are incarcerated in a California prison. Their poem is an homage to Maya Angelou's "And Still I Rise"
