Welcome to the TeachHER Podcast Powered by The Innocent Brown Girl Project. Our mission is to convey strategies for Grit &amp; Grace with educators and advocates of African American and Latina Girls. Thank you for joining us today. Today, our guest is Analise Harris. Founder of Curls on the Block, Analise currently works as an adjunct professor at Community College of Denver. Hailing from Waukegan, Illinois, after obtaining a degree in Sociology and Communications at Creighton University, she moved to Denver in 2011 as a founding corps member of City Year Denver. Inspired by the year of service and evaluating her life goals, Analise pursued an alternative teaching license from Metropolitan State University and obtained her Master’s in Education with a certification in Special Education. During her work as an educator, Analise realized that girls of color were often receiving extreme punishments, experiencing lower self esteem and essentially not having good self care starting as early as elementary school. More than not, those issues were linked to their hair, not taking off a hoodie or bandana, being teased for a bad hair day and asking for basic supplies such as hair ties or hair gel. In order to address the glaring issues, Analise started offering safe spaces for girls to explore beauty and hair care needs, eventually creating the standards based curriculum Curls on The Block.

Comeback to Curly Hair with Analise Harris

In this episode, Analise Harris, CEO of the nonprofit Curls On The Block, shares how her experiences as a special education teacher inspired her to start an after-school program to support girls of color in feeling empowered turned into a nonprofit and entirely new path in her own life.  We talk about how Curls On The Block is empowering girls to embrace their natural hair while introducing them to STEAM careers because fewer than 20% of STEAM jobs will be filled by women. We chat the politics of hair and how that impacts women, we bond over our own curls and touch on how colorism is a very real issue that needs to be addressed within communities of color.     This week's Woman Of Impact is Angela Davis. Analisa discusses how Angela Davis was an inspiring force in her own life, the impact Ms. Davis has had on gender studies, specifically the intersection between class and gender, and why the next generation of leaders needs to know about her.  Little known fact: Both the Rolling Stones and John Lennon wrote songs about Angela Davis.  Expand your knowledge:  Learn more about Curls On The Block Buy a ticket to Curly Weekend Follow Analise on social Twitter, Instagram, Facebook  Woman of Impact: Angela Davis  Follow her on Twitter, Facebook  Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review!
