Like any job, being a teacher comes with grueling responsibilities that are essential in order for the classroom to run effectively, and for students to receive the best education possible. But the truth is, no matter how much effort a school makes to improve the way that it operates, a student’s enthusiasm for learning, and ability to access resources to thrive, depend heavily on the parent/caretaker’s ability to be active and supportive in their education.
In this episode, Baltimore City School teacher Susana Reyes is giving you her behind-the-scenes perspective on what it actually takes to be an effective teacher in a public school. Not only that, we discuss Susana’s unconventional journey to becoming a kindergarten teacher that all started at her former partner’s art exhibit!
She walks us through her experience as a Latinx student who didn’t see representation in the classroom growing up, and opens up about how she blossomed into being proud of her heritage, and excited about the future thanks to the support of family, friends, mentors, and prioritizing her mental health through therapy.

Susana is a full-time teacher and mom! She does not have an organization to promote. Rather, she wanted to shout out to Z & Z Housing Group. A Baltimore, MD-based realty group owned by her son’s father, who is his main role model. As we know, positive role models help children think up bigger ideas about who they can become.
