THE CONVOThis is my personal favorite episode yet, featuring educator, story-teller, and D.C.-based artist, Cierra Kaler-Jones. Cierra is currently a PhD candidate, focusing— in her own words— on her research on how we can make education more equitable, hoping to amplify stories of women of color that are often erased by dominant, deficit-based narratives. Featured in popular outlets ranging from the Education Post to Midnight and Indigo to Ted Talks, Kaler-Jones is internationally recognized for her commitment to social justice. Cierra wears many different hats as a fitness instructor, using movement to encourage people to take care of their minds, bodies, and souls. Today's conversation centers around common threads within Cierra’s work: intersectional, inclusive wellness in its various forms and capacities. She chats about her favorite authors, how she views movement as a form of resistance, and how she navigates the world as a storyteller, a listener, a question-asker, and so much more.
