167: The Urgency of Mother-Scholar Activism in Grad School with Janay Garrett
This week our special guest is Janay Garrett who discusses the topic of the urgency of mother-scholar activism in grad school. Janay is a mother of three fierce, beautiful and bright children, ages 1, 3 and 5. Currently in Connecticut with her husband James, she is passionate about writing, scholarship, mentorship and improving community contexts/supports under which families grow.
In this episode we cover:
-How mothering, cooking, community, and service have been central in her life as a child who was raised by her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother
-How earning her master’s degree at the height of the BLM movement shifted her trajectory to exploring how people become engaged in transformative change
-Her experience managing her many roles, including being a grad student in a doctoral program, mom of three, and employee working for a charter school
-Words of advice for other BIPOC mothers, parents, and folks who wish to support them
