In this inspiring episode of Mission-Driven Founders, Wanda Malhotra sits down with Benjamin Slinkard, known on stage as Kennedy Anne Scott — an award-winning educator, performer, and advocate from Nashville, Tennessee.
Benjamin’s journey from overcoming childhood bullying to becoming a Teacher of the Year and celebrated drag performer is a powerful story of resilience, authenticity, and purpose. As a Blue Ribbon Teacher for Metro Public Schools, he’s transforming classrooms into spaces of confidence and compassion — and as Kennedy Anne Scott, he’s using art and performance to amplify inclusion and self-expression.
Together, Wanda and Benjamin explore how education and creativity can drive social change, why representation matters, and what it truly means to live unapologetically. They also discuss the impact of the book No Tea, No Shade, which Benjamin co-authored — a collection of real, heartfelt stories that inspire acceptance, empathy, and empowerment for future generations.
✨ Whether you’re an entrepreneur, educator, or creative visionary, this conversation will remind you that purpose and authenticity are the foundation of every meaningful journey.
