Today’s guest is Dr. Rachelle Winkle-Wagner, author of the new book The Chosen We. She’s a professor of Educational Leadership and Policy a U.Wisconsin-Madison. Over a period of ten years she interviewed 105 Black women from five selected cities about their experiences in both primarily White institutions and historically Black colleges and universities. She found lessons we can all learn: about community and what liberation and educational success really means. In the book she shows how it is communities that build individual strength.
