The Exit Interview: A Podcast for Black Educators

Welcome to The Exit Interview: A Podcast for Black Educators — where we hold space for honest conversations about what drives Black educators out of the classroom and what it takes to keep us whole.

Hosted by Dr. Asia Lyons, this podcast amplifies the voices of Black teachers, school leaders, and education professionals who share powerful stories of resilience, burnout, healing, and transformation. Through interviews, reflections, and unfiltered dialogue, we unpack racial battle fatigue, systemic inequities, and the urgency of educator wellness.
Whether you're a current or former educator, education leader, researcher, or advocate—this is your place to listen, learn, and build toward a better future in education.

🖤 Topics we explore:
Why Black teachers leave the profession
Educator wellness and mental health
Retaining Black educators
Anti-racist and culturally responsive teaching
Real talk on life after the classroom
