THE PODCAST

Is private school worth it for students and families of color? How can parents and schools start to break down systemic and institutional racism in independent schools?

eRaced addresses these questions and more, exploring topics of diversity and marginalization in education.

Created by Axis Founder and Executive Director Collette Bowers Zinn and her co-host Lisa Johnson, eRaced shares real stories of people of color and their experiences of where race, culture, and education collide.
