    Episode 6: Rebuilding the Black Teacher Pipeline: A Conversation with Sharif El-Mekki

    Rebuilding the Black Teacher Pipeline: A Conversation with Sharif El-Mekki What happens when we stop asking why there aren’t enough Black teachers and start asking what systems are doing to the Black teacher pipeline? In this episode of Tell Me More with Jehan, I’m joined by educator and advocate Sharif El-Mekki for a conversation about teacher preparation, representation, and what it means to truly invest in educators before they step into the classroom. We talk about what happens when teachers enter classrooms without the preparation, support, and resources they need—and why we would never accept that level of preparation in other professions. We also explore the importance of Black educators, the systemic barriers that shape who enters and stays in the profession, and what rebuilding the pipeline can look like. This is a conversation about education, systems, representation, and ultimately, what our students deserve.

    BONUS Episode 4: 25 Years Later, What We Remember, What We Refuse to Forget (SOLO)

    Twenty-five years after 9/11, what do we remember—and what have we been taught to forget? We remember the lives lost on September 11. But we also have to remember what followed: wars, surveillance, detention, displacement, Islamophobia, anti-Arab racism, and the devastating human cost of the War of Terror. For many Arabs and Muslims, 9/11 was not simply a moment in history. It changed how we were seen, how we were treated, and how we learned to move through the world. Twenty-five years later, remembering means holding more than one truth at a time. It means honoring the lives lost while also reckoning with the lives lost afterward. This episode asks us to look back honestly—not to reopen wounds, but to understand how we got here. Listen to “25 Years Later: What We Remember, What We Refuse to Forget” on Tell Me More with Jehan. If you’re ready to sit with the uncomfortable parts of our history, listen—and tell me more.

    Episode 2 : Personal Reflection- It's Never Too Late To Change (SOLO)

    🎙️ SOLO EPISODE | It’s Never Too Late to Change What happens when you realize you were wrong? Maybe you held racist beliefs, participated in anti-Blackness, believed stereotypes, or simply didn’t question what you were taught. Maybe Gaza pushed you to ask new questions about U.S. foreign policy, media, power, and whose humanity we’re taught to value. This episode is about unlearning, accountability, and doing better once we know better. Bias doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Decades of media narratives, systemic racism, historical erasure, anti-Blackness, anti-Muslim bias, and foreign policy have shaped how we see entire communities. But what is learned can be unlearned. I’ll unpack more of these issues in future solo episodes—ranting, reflecting, and asking questions alongside you. 🎙️ Tell Me More with Jehan: Stories That Build Understanding New episodes 1st & 3rd Fridays — one guest, one solo.
