"The sense of belonging is one of the best things we can give to another human being." Ashley Russell Lead IT Instructor Masters in Instructional Technology https://www.ashtechwisdom.com/ “All of these people have added to my existence.” Black Nerds, Unite!! This week, we are joined by Mr. Ashley Russell, Philosophy major turned IT Instructor and founder of AshTech Wisdom. As a Black man from the south side of Chicago, Ashley speaks about how he was shaped by his private school education, how his teachers kicked his butt into learning, and the pathway through college and careers that led him into the classroom. "Our education is in our hands." The main carriers of the culture are the people we learn from, and for far too long, we’ve been prevented from passing on relevant information. Tune in as Ashley reflects on the challenges that exist within American education, the city of Chicago, and even within the Black community. Teaching the new generation, and showing young people a brand new world, is worth it.
