Mental health diagnoses are still considered “taboo” among a large portion of the African American community, so many children and adults remain untreated for mental illnesses that hold people back from living their best lives! That’s why in this episode we take a closer look at the benefits of mental health therapy and common reasons why the prospect of receiving a diagnosis causes some to shy away from prioritizing mental health therapy altogether.
We flow through this conversation with Dr. Andrea Boudreaux.
She is a committed healthcare executive, medical psychologist and currently serves as Executive Director for Children’s School Services, a subsidiary of Children's National Hospital where she oversees 200 school-based clinics, addresses the needs, and improves health outcomes and access for 90,000 children across the District of Columbia.
Providing access to quality academic experiences is only one amazing part of helping children reach their full potential. Another essential component is helping children, and the communities that raise them, prioritize mental health. Poor mental health can make it extremely difficult to apply academic and life knowledge.
Tune in and learn ways to help children reach their fullest potential, as well as tips for navigating health systems as a person of color.

At 7.3%, African Americans make up but a slither of America's $23B conservation industry. Not to mention, African Americans are less likely to go outdoors and enjoy outdoor recreation because of historic discrimination. This is harmful because as humans, we are nature, so it’s important for our mental health, well being and survival that all people have the awareness and tools to participate in protecting and preserving our earth.
Today’s guest, Charles Johnson III teaches physical, biological, and informational sciences to help communities realize the benefits of a healthy environment at the James River Association.
In 2021, his team was awarded a grant to educate students from three counties across the James River Watershed. All 7th-grade students from Amherst, Hopewell, and Surry County, for three years starting in 2021-2024. As a result, every 7th-grade student in the county will experience a meaningful watershed educational experience with his team.
In this episode, Charles helps us explore the importance of preserving local bodies of water because they are sources of life for human beings and creatures that we coexist with. He also unpacks education equity in the environmental arena, his story as an African American male discovering his passion for the outdoors, and the transformative work happening at the James River Association.

Across America, 40% of college students fail Organic Chemistry on their first attempt. A huge majority never pass it at all. For students who have always dreamed of becoming a doctor, this is a big deal because if you don’t pass organic chemistry, you don’t get into medical school … and right now, students of color make up the majority of hopefuls who are forced to suppress their dream of becoming a doctor. Instead, they must settle for a different career path because of so many alarming reasons that Dr. Colleen Kelley helps us explore in this episode.
In this episode, Dr. Kelley reveals reasons students have historically hated Chemistry, and how her new comic series Kids Chemical Solutions is transforming their sentiments for the better and helping children understand (and enjoy) college level chemistry before they finish elementary school.

Whether you are looking for help for yourself or a family member who is experiencing suicidal thoughts, one of the first things you can do to get immediate help from people who want to help you, not judge you, is by using your telephone to call the number “988”. That number will put you in touch with someone from a FREE Crisis Lifeline. You can call this number 24/7. If you feel like you need to call this number right now, please do not listen to this podcast episode. Instead, give 988 a call because you can reach someone who is waiting to help you or your loved one right now.
In this episode, we explore what happens somewhat behind the scenes at the 988 Crisis Lifeline with Garry O’Neal, Jr.
Garry volunteers at the 988 Crisis Lifeline and speaks with people as young at 8 years old who need someone to talk to when life gets heavy and they need a listening ear, or when they are experiencing suicidal thoughts.
This episode is Part 1 of a series we've committed to on the show call Suicide Awareness and Generational Healing for Black Children and Families.
I also open about about why I decided to create a podcast series that addresses suicide among Black children, and why the Ed Gap Evolution podcast now produces episodes about mental health for the entire family in addition to episodes where we discuss innovative education for K-12 students.

During this episode, we're talking about our campaign to save lives through child suicide awareness and prevention. September is National Suicide Awareness month in the United States and, unfortunately, children as young as five years old are deciding that life is not worth living.
More specifically, since 1991 suicidal attempts by Black children have increased by 80% ... and from the looks of things ... this number will continue to increase if we don’t do something about it.
We believe that every child deserves to feel secure in themselves and in their ability to live a happy, fulfilled life, and every parent, guardian and loved one should know warning signs, preventative measures, and solutions for suicidal tendencies in children.
If you want to support research and production for our upcoming series on Child Suicide Prevention, and help the most ignored and most effected population of children dying by suicide, please donate here: https://gofund.me/9e5df569
You can also donate by going to GoFundMe and typing “Podcast Series To Help End Child Suicide” in the search bar.

According to the CDC, infant mortality rates for 2021 were 541 deaths for every 100,000 births. Now, this may not come off as an eye-brow-raising statistic if we're talking purely math. However, we're talking about human lives. Family members. Our nation's future.
Up to 42 days after giving birth, more and more Black mamas are losing their lives. Throughout the episode, we take a closer look at startling statistics that inevitably illuminate this crisis.
These numbers are a call to action, and this episode was created in an effort to stimulate thoughts and conversation in support of solutions.
If you’re a frequent flier here, you know that we normally highlight programs that help children explore that vastness of education beyond the textbook so that we can close America’s education gap together.
Continuing in the spirit of our mission, today’s guest, Ashlee Jaye, is closing the education gap on the birthing process for us adults, and giving you a deeper look into practices and habits around America’s healthcare system for mothers giving birth.
Ashlee presents food for thought as well as options for creating pregnancy and birthing experiences that are unique to each mother’s personal desires.

Owning financial assets is a major key to building generational wealth. More specifically, commercial real estate is a lucrative, wealth-building industry that continues to thrive in the U.S. Yet, for people of color, only 28% percent are real estate professionals and less than 4% are working specifically in commercial real estate.
To give you a better idea of the magnitude of wealth that’s possible for emerging professionals of color within commercial real estate, get this: In 2020, despite the economic crises the United States faced due to the coronavirus, the commercial real estate industry continued to grow to a $10.5 trillion industry. Yes, trillion with a “T”.
What better way to build generational wealth within the Black and Latino communities than to normalize an interest in commercial real estate among youth, and create pathways for them to make their real estate dreams a reality!
In this episode of the Ed Gap Evolution Podcast, we speak with Osa Bartholomew. Osa is the Chief Program Officer for the Real Estate Executive Council’s Real Estate Exchange Programs, including The REEX JumpStart Scholars Program.
The REEX JumpStart Scholars Program is a 2-week residential program for youth that focuses on developing a pipeline of high achieving, diverse students (current high school juniors) by providing exposure to the following:
Entrepreneurship & Commercial Real Estate Fundamentals in “Masterclass” Modules as well as Small Group CohortsAccess to University Partners & their College Faculty/Admission OfficersExperiential Learning through engaged instruction, site visits, case studies, etc. with other diverse students nationwideEngage with CEOs, Founders & Executives in Business & Commercial Real EstateParticipate in Team University Competitions culminating in a National CompetitionSound like a great starting point for your child to shatter generational wealth barriers and soar? Oh, believe me, it is!
During this episode, we discuss:

There are so many ways for children to learn, but too often, conventional education in America confines students to specific eurocentric writing, reading, and arithmetic methodologies that have proven to be largely ineffective for quite some time now, especially when zooming in on educational experiences of Black and brown children in America.
In this episode, we’re speaking with the founder of the Canady Foundation for The Arts, Marjuan Canady. She is an award-winning Caribbean-American artist, entrepreneur, educator, and literacy advocate.
Marjuan carries us through her personal journey as a storyteller and performer from her childhood, as a native Washingtonian, all the way to the present day.
We discuss the importance of culturally sound literacy for children of color, and how her series of children's books called “Callaloo Kids” contributes to the dire need for more of it.
Marjuan drops boatloads of wisdom on African American theatre history, the importance of creative arts programs in schools, the grand effect that reading to children has on their overall development as influential members of society, and how the creative arts can play a key role in helping Black and brown children discover who they are and act on it with authenticity and freedom, no matter what career path they choose in the future.
Marjuan has fifteen years of arts education experience, instructing youth from pre-school to college levels. Her original work has been seen at The John F. Kennedy Center, Sesame Street, The Smithsonian, and the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute, to name a few.
So if you’ve been wondering:
How to teach your child to readHow to get a child to read when they refuseWhy is cultural literacy importantHow to start a drama club or bring theatre to your child’s schoolOr how to stimulate creativity in children ...Then you’re going to LOVE this episode because it answers all of those questions and so many more.

In this episode of the Ed Gap Evolution Podcast we’re speaking with high school students Sydney McPherson and Kevin Kim about America’s tech gap that continues to prevent so many of America’s children from receiving a quality education, thus widening the Education Gap.
Sydney and Kevin are the perfect people to speak on this topic because not only are they students who currently attend public school in the U.S., but Sydney founded a non-profit called Tech Neutrality.
According to Sydney: Since the coronavirus outbreak, she had an excessive amount of time to be reminded of the severe inequities in the education system. She recognized the tremendous privilege that she had merely because she had access to a computer.
So, she created Tech Neutrality: A nonprofit organization that helps students who need computers in order to successfully finish school, get them.
With the Delta variant looming over the 2021- 2022 school year, there is no better time than now to listen to this episode. We’re talking:
Why all students need access to working computers and why that’s (surprisingly) not an easy task to accomplish even if computers are availableHow they thought COVID-19 was going to affect their lives v. how it actually didWhat it takes to start and operate and non-profit as a studentThe many ways in which not having a computer in this day and age can negatively impact the trajectory of a child's entire livesAnd much moreIf you want to learn more about Tech Neutrality and donate visit: https://www.techneutralitynow.org/

The 2021-2022 school year is fast approaching and neither parents nor students can afford to jump into this school year blindly. Because as we all know, COVID-19 turned everything that our nation once knew about getting a public K-12 education upside down.
2020 was the first year that students and parents were forced to adapt to an online learning model without much warning or precedent.
So as students, parents, and school administrators continue to embrace our new normal this school year, we're sharing some practical and seldom discussed advice so you can ensure that your child gets the top-notch education that they deserve no matter what school they go to.
In this episode of the Ed Gap Evolution podcast, we’re speaking with Pam Phillips, and this isn’t her first time on the podcast. She’s actually my mother and I interviewed her on the topic of homeschooling in episode (3) of the podcast.
She’s back on the show! But this time, she gives advice on 3 impactful ways that every parent can help their child have a successful school year.
Pam also gives tips on how you can advocate for your child’s education if your child attends public school in the U.S.
She has taught in public school, private school, homeschool, and supplemental education companies like Sylvan Learning. So she offers well-informed opinions on the topics that we jump into on the show!
In this episode, we recommend that every parent who has a student in public school get involved in your school's Parent Teacher Association.
