Black Excellence

“Wow… You’re Black.” Dr. Malikah Nu-Man Restorative Justice Teacher Advisor, Special Education Teacher “I grew up with Black pride and Black excellence, and knowing who I was.” On today’s episode, we are talking about Black excellence with L.A. native Dr. Malikah Nu-Man. After a career change from sales led her into the classroom, Malikah reflects on her fearless advocacy roots and the varied experiences she’s had with race. From her childhood, attending a private Black pre-school, problematic (and racist) elementary school encounters, recent microaggressions from colleagues, and teaching in a Sundown Town. Through it all, Dr. Nu-Mon is following her ordained steps on a mission for restorative justice, advocacy, inclusion and human connection.
