Yannick Florest is an educator, teacher, and a rapper. Yannick has been educating in the New York area for his entire adulthood, and has taken much of what he has learned throughout the last decade or so and has put it into his music through the avenue of hip hop. Yannick has an incredible flow, brilliant messages, and some wonderful autobiographical flourishes that makes his art feel that much more personal as it is enjoyable.Craig and Yannick met up in Brooklyn, NY a couple weeks ago to, well, meet for the first time, and to chat about life, education, anime, and hip-hop, all while in the confines of a somewhat still lobby of a Brooklyn Marriott. The two dig into the challenges of being truly authentic with students, how peers can perceive that authenticity, and the value of being a creative person within education - and how we let it out and let loose! This was such a lively conversation and we hope you love it too!MUSIC NOTES:- This week we shared tunes from Yannick Florest' new mixtape, "TeachersCollegeorBust," which he independently released on June 20.- It took nearly 50 episodes but we finally had a hip-hop artist featured on the podcast! What a way to get things started, too - by featuring a man who released it all himself.- We featured the tracks, "5am to Albany," "Stock Exchange," and "Black Saiyan Excellence" on this week's episode.- The mixtape is currently available FOR DOWNLOAD on his bandcamp site, so you have no reason to not download this album right now!As always, you can CHECK OUT THE NEW SPOTIFY PLAYLIST!ADVERTISING NOTES:- Table-Turned is a DIY record-of-the-month club. Subscribers select from two genre options and receive a record each month for that genre, including some “classics” as well as albums they may have missed.- The current genre selections are Garage Rock and Ska-Punk, and for the next month, you can start your monthly vinyl subscription for $160, which gives you a FREE MONTH, after that it becomes $175 for the year.- Table-Turned was recently featured in Paste magazine AND in The Hype Magazine!- To learn more and/or to start your subscription, visit Table-Turned.com!And you can now join our Facebook community by CLICKING HERE!FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE, AND SHARE!- Any love on the iTunes app helps!

49: Yannick Florest & Educating through Hip Hop

For this episode we caught up with Yannick Florest (@soapboxvizzy)for a conversation about education and his amazing mixtape TEACHERS COLLEGE OR BUST (educatorlife.bandcamp.com). During on conversation we talked about the importance of reenforcing that every student has value and that we must provide them multiple avenues upon which to learn.Yannick discussed his on education in Brooklyn and the impact that teachers of color, especially male teachers of color, had on his education. He explained that the cultural sensitivity of these teachers to what he was going through allow him to shine in ways that he hadn't for other teachers. This lead us to a long talk about how we can get more men and men of color into the teaching profession and this is when he emphasized the humanness of the field. The more as teachers we validate who are students are as people the more options we help them to see in their future and our hope is that more young men will see teaching as a viable option. We're so grateful to Yannick for taking some time to be on the podcast and if you haven't connected with him please do so! If you'd like to help us out here's what you can do.
