Join me, James O'Neal, in an illuminating Episode 4, as we delve into the heart of a critical question with our esteemed guest, Rolanda Baldwin: "Is Math a Racist Subject?" Rolanda, with her unique journey from an engineer to an educator, offers profound insights into the nuanced layers of racism in math education.

In this episode, we explore the challenges of a procedural approach to math teaching in the U.S., which often fails to represent diverse identities, particularly impacting people of color and females. Rolanda passionately advocates for reshaping math education to be more inclusive and engaging, fostering a learning environment where every student feels valued and capable.

We also discuss the importance of building math confidence and changing traditional education practices to empower students, especially black boys, and cultivate diverse math identities. This episode is not just a conversation – it's a revelation of the need for systemic change in education and an inspirational call to action.

Tune in for an episode filled with wisdom, passion, and a vision for a more equitable and inclusive future in math education. This is a must-watch for educators, parents, and anyone committed to making a difference in our educational landscape.
