Leslie Stoval soaks up the wisdom of Fern E. Stroud, retired elementary school teacher and mother of BlackFemaleProject founder Precious J. Stroud. Originally from Berkeley, Mrs. Stroud studied at San Francisco State, taught in Berkeley schools in the pre-integration 60s, and later moved up to a school in the Berkeley Hills where she was the only African American teacher. In the conversation, Mrs. Stroud speaks to the power of mentorship—particularly from Black educators—and the circular nature of things.
