Tim Villegas (he/him)

Why did you choose this theme?There are a lot of barriers when it comes to education, but especially for learners who come from marginalized backgrounds and identities.I've been fortunate to learn from and connect with so many individuals over the years who are trying to foster a more equitable education system for all learners. I'd like to take this opportunity to highlight some stellar podcast episodes for like-minded people.
