This Black History month, our staff and educators reflect on a moment in recent Speak About It history...our first-ever all POC show! This past December, five Speak About It educators showed up to the New Hampton School and realized the whole cast identified as a POC! Program Manager, Oronde Cruger, and Educator, Maya Williams reflect on what this exciting experience meant to them.

Speak About It's educators are at the heart of our work. They bring a diverse set of talent, skills, and experiences to the stage, and we love introducing them to our Speak About It friends and fans. This month, meet Alexxis, a New York actor-educator who is passionate about big feelings and big change.

Now that the academic year is off to a great start, we’re excited to introduce our friends and fans to another amazing educator who is making the Speak About It mission come alive. Hot off the heels of her first orientation tour, Madeleine has already spoken to thousands of students in her first month as a Speak About It educator.
