Just heard a great talk on #education in @doughenwood "Behind the news" #podcast. Reminded me that teaching is a profession that was subjected to a F.U.D. (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) campaign by #whitesupremacist #broligarchs because it was largely female and human centered. I'm embarrassed that I thought teaching was easy. I remember all of the great #teachers I had in #Montclair and at #HowardUniversity. My mother was master early childhood educator. Thanks Mom.

@doughenwood Mom had a Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education. She and Dad got me into #STEM and eventually #ElectricalEngineering. Dad also had experience teaching #math. Dad helped me build my first antenna and Mom (secretly) financed the purchase of my first transmitter: The #Heathkit #DX60B. #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

#amateurradio is more than a hobby to me. It offered me a chance to develop my own #STEMIdentity independent #whitesupremacist school and #corporate #america

This is the other side of what #hiddenfigures means; we had to hide our identity, our excellence to protect ourselves.
