Black SEL is about acknowledging the ways that SEL competencies have been present in black communities long before the designation or study of social-emotional learning. In this seasonal podcast, we open up a safe space for black thought leaders and change-makers to share their experiences, and expertise all while highlighting key Social-Emotional Skills. Through each episode, we showcase the variety and depth of the Black SEL experience by making SEL relatable, tangible, and sustainable in Black Communities.Listen, subscribe, and share with a friend!
