This week, I sat down with an amazing educator & youth advocate, Mr. Donovan Taylor Hall. Mr. Donovan, as he is commonly referred to by his students, taught social skills classes at Impact Academy in Oakland, CA that teaches kids how to become active facilitators of their growth. In this episode, we talk about the foundation of Mr. Donovan’s philosophy, which is designed to raise levels of self-esteem and self-worth, creating spaces for youth to find their personal power,  and practicing gratitude. I hope you have as much fun hearing from the Modern Day Mr. Rogers, as I had speaking to him!
