I sit down with a true force for change in education — Dr. Nyree Clark, the Coordinator of Equity and Access at Colton Joint Unified School District — to discuss what it takes to hold onto hope in challenging times and build communities that support us beyond our comfort zones to break barriers and foster equity.
Reflecting on the recent election, we explore the real work that begins after pivotal moments in history like the one we are collectively experiencing right now. We talk about allyship and equity as lifelong practices — not just boxes to check. Through our conversation, we dive into the magic that happens when we lean on each other, tackle barriers as a united front, and bring our hearts fully into the work of equity.
This conversation is a guide to finding light in the darkness, nurturing hope, and embracing how “free” we can truly be when we let go, lean in, and grow together.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
