May 6 - May 12, 2024 is Teacher Appreciation Week! Shamari Reid, author of the recently released Humans Who Teach, shows us one small way we can nurture our physical well-being with a nutritious smoothie recipe.
Listen to Shamari Reid and Liz Prather discuss Writing as Healing on the Heinemann podcast.
Humans Who Teach invites readers to explore the complicated humanity of those who teach, with a focus on how we have been socialized to accept the status quo, our very real fears in disrupting the status quo, and how we can rely on our human capacity to love to engage in teaching for social justice even in the presence of fear. Available now!
