Episode Description from the Publisher

"Racquel Ellis comes into the barbershop to talk about some of the perils she went through to overcome the odds. Racquel talks about overcoming some serious setbacks starting as early as high school. At the start of her high school experience, she became pregnant, unexpectedly. Now, faced with the stigma and hardships of being a teen mom. This episode breaks down how this wouldn't stop her in the slightest. Eventually, she received her high school diploma from August Martin High School. Moreover, she would not stop there, so Racquel immediately went right to college. Again, this transition into college life would not be easy as well. One reason for this is due in part to the fact that her high school literature was misaligned with her college institution. This made her experience even more challenging. Like before, Racquel overcame this, received her bachelor's degree, and then went on to receive her Master's of Education. eventually, she became a New York City School teacher. As most people may know, being a teacher can be a very difficult and overwhelming profession. The burnout rate is relatively high yet Racquel managed to figure out how to thrive in this environment as well." Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
