À propos de cet audio

 In this unforgettable episode of Not All Hood, educator and Atlanta Public School Board member Alfred Brooks joins Pam Warner and Candace Kelley for a deeply emotional conversation about Black male teachers, representation in education, grief, legacy, and healing. Brooks shares his journey from growing up around activism to becoming one of the nation’s few Black male educators — and the first classroom teacher in 150 years to serve on the Atlanta School Board. He breaks down why Black men in education matter, how he teaches students to unlearn harmful beliefs, and why authentic representation transforms school culture. The episode turns profoundly intimate as Brooks recounts the tragic loss of his 16-year-old son, Bryce, who died saving three children from a riptide. In a rare and powerful exchange, Pam Warner reflects on losing her son, actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and the two parents discuss faith, acceptance, legacy-building, and navigating grief while still choosing purpose.
