  7. SEASON 3 TRAILER

    Welcome to Season 3: On Bravery

    Early this year I had an experience where someone called me brave. No joke, I didn't know why they said that about me. At the same time, I was reading reflection after reflection from my students where they wished they had more bravery. I believe things happen for a reason, so I went with it and dedicated this entire season to uncovering as much as I could about bravery.
