Impact is Residual

https://m.facebook.com/ProfRockCelebration/ “Because we are doing things totally different now, we have to have a new vision for how we approach things.” Professor Rock Lherisson Literature, ELA, Creative Writing, Special Education IG: @ProfessorRock1 https://www.profrocklherisson.com/ “The story of African American history is more of a story of power.” From his childhood growing up in a Haitian American dual language household to becoming a Black professor teaching English (to middle schoolers during the day and community college students at night), Professor Rock Lherisson is no stranger to navigating duality, balancing multiple worlds and finding the source of strength and power in every situation. In this episode, Professor Rock reflects on how his middle school educators affirmed and shaped his identity, why college was a spiritual experience, and what educators can do to elevate their expertise during this time of change.
