Pushing Through

"It is my duty as a human being to teach what I know." Adjunct Professor and Author Nicole D. Vick https://www.nicoledvick.com/ Pushing Through: Finding the Light in Every Lesson https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-d-vick/ #Shoutout to the origin stories! And for telling YOUR life story! This week, I am joined by adjunct professor and recently published author, Nicole D. Vick. We discuss the lived experiences that help amplify the lessons and messages she shares with students, including her teenage pregnancy, an encounter with her white college counselor, and the transition into online teaching with Covid-19. Is racism a public health issue? We think so. Tune in and listen up, as Nicole gives us a word to help us push through and find the light in every lesson.
