    ESH (Empowerment Starts Here)

    In this episode, the host returns (from an extended break) with a conversation about her continued commitment to Empowerment Starts Here (ESH).  She talks about the six episode gap (between Ep55-Ep60); about being on autopilot from one major project to the next (without time to reflect and recalibrate her destination); and about what is new  since she has been away.  In the reflection, you will be invited to think with Angela about the school house as a basin in our society and truly consider the ways in which education coincides (or not) with social change work.  Visit our website for more information:
