The Exit Interview: A Podcast for Black Educators

The Exit Interview: A Podcast for Black Educators aims to document and honor the lived experiences of Black educators who have decided to leave the profession. Rooted in archival justice, the podcast elevates their stories as a powerful form of truth-telling, healing, and resistance. It serves as an oral history archive capturing the experiences of Black educators across the U.S. By highlighting Black voices and their reasons for leaving or staying, it ignites important conversations about wellness, racial battle fatigue, and what is needed to transform educational spaces into environments where Black educators can thrive.
