A single line from The Orange Blossom sets the tone: history isn’t distant—it breathes through our workplaces, classrooms, and homes. From that vivid reading, we sit down with educator, author, and cultural competency expert Jebeh Edmunds to explore how belonging is built step by step, not by slogans. Jebeh Edmunds offers a grounded plan to beat overwhelm—circle your top three priorities and move—and shows how scenario practice and simple language can transform tense moments into teachable ones.
We unpack psychological safety in concrete terms. It’s not a poster; it’s the feeling you don’t have to defend your hair or your lunch, the trust that leadership will address harm quickly and transparently, and the space to do your best work without shrinking yourself. Jebeh explains why recruitment without retention is a revolving door, and how managers can stop the spin with follow-through, clarity, and consistent repair. Her three C’s—Check, Correct, Connect—create a daily rhythm: check names and assumptions, correct bias and harm, connect beyond signs to real relationships.
Jebeh's journey—award-winning teacher to host of Cultural Curriculum Chat—adds heart and muscle to the playbook. She shares how to fold culture into literacy and history so students learn skills and see themselves, why asynchronous trainings helped her scale impact without burnout, and how joy keeps the work honest: dancing in the kitchen, family calls, and time to write. Along the way, we highlight practical ideas for nonprofits and arts groups, everyday actions families can take, and the moments that define success: when someone says “I’ll do better” and then proves it.
