See It To Be It

In this episode of the F.L.O.W. Podcast, we welcome Dr. Sharon H. Porter, an inspiring educator, whose journey began after a memorable experience hearing her fourth grade teacher read Judy Blume's Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.  That initial spark led her to become a fourth-grade teacher in Charlotte, NC.  Through the years she formed deep connections with students and maintains a cherished drawing from a former second-grade student. 

Although Dr. Sharon never envisioned herself as a school leader, a move to the Washington, DC area shifted her perspective and encouraged her to pursue higher education. She discovered a love for media after completing her dissertation, and that was the springboard into becoming an author and podcast host.  In this episode, we explore:

• The power of education in shaping lives and communities
• The importance of mentorship and representation
• Sharon’s commitment to building a pipeline of teacher leaders and principals

Breaking Down Doors In Education

Black women are sometimes elevated to leadership positions during times of crisis and expected to work miracles with little or no support.  This concept is known as the glass cliff.  In this episode of The F.L.O.W. Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Shanessa Fenner, principal of William T. Brown Elementary School in North Carolina, to discuss her journey in education, leadership, and overcoming challenges as a Black woman in her field. She holds a bachelor's degree from North Carolina Central University, two master's degrees from Fayetteville State University, and a doctorate in Educational Leadership from Fayetteville State University.  Despite being placed in underperforming schools, she managed to raise test scores and leveraged her relationships to raise funding for her students.  She continues to be a multifaceted woman who does not leave a stone unturned and her motto is “We were placed here to do great things and that is what I am going to do by the grace of God.”  

Key Takeaways:

• The importance of building relationships with staff, students, and families in educational leadership
• Encouragement for women to take risks and not be limited by others' expectations
• Leveraging determination to overcome obstacles as a Black woman in leadership
