What I Learned Working in the Biden-Harris Administration | Dr. Chauncey T. Alexander

He worked in the Biden-Harris Administration.He helped shape how stories are told at the national level.

But his understanding of power started much earlier — with a poem that helped him finally feel seen.

In this episode of the Brave Voices in Education Podcast, Craig Aarons-Martin sits in conversation with Dr. Chauncey T. Alexander — poet, storyteller, and former U.S. Department of Education leader — about voice, identity, leadership, and purpose.

This conversation moves between the personal and the political:

✨ discovering your voice before the world validates it🤎 navigating leadership as a Black man in national spaces🏫 The importance of representation in education🔥 making sense of today’s shifting education landscape🗣️ Why this is a “season of small voices.”💭 How to reframe your internal dialogue in difficult moments

Chauncey reminds us:

You do not need a title to have impact.You do not need a platform to have power.

You are not weak. You are tired. And you still have something to say.
