Thank you for joining us for another episode of The Silk Stocking Sisters Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Theresa J. Canada answers the question, Why this podcast, and why me? Her mission is to share, educate, connect, and shine a light on the often-overlooked history of school desegregation in the North and Midwest, from the 1960s to the present day. These stories are not just historical; they remain deeply relevant and shape how we understand equity in education now.
The podcast explores how education intersects with sports, law, medicine, and psychology, offering listeners a broader view of the systems that impact communities. Through personal stories and expert guests, Dr. Canada amplifies voices that bring insight, experience, and new perspectives to the conversation.
At its core, the show aims to build community and encourage open dialogue across racial and ethnic lines. Exposure to diverse experiences encourages a more worldly and empathetic perspective. As Dr. Canada powerfully states, this podcast is an invitation to redefine how people of all ethnic and racial backgrounds across this country connect, so we can learn from each other, learn about each other, and ultimately, learn to live with each other.
