What’s The One Thing You Want Your Children To Learn About Life?
We tackled one question for 30 Minutes with Educational Consultant Jillian Carew, 2x Emmy Nominated Sports Broadcaster Camron Smith, and Tech and Civic Executive Beth Bond. Get to know the participants below.
Jillian Carew Raised on the South Side of Chicago, Jillian is committed to ensuring all students have access to quality education. She earned a BA from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, a Masters in Teaching from UNLV as a Teach For America corps member, and is currently pursuing her Ph.D. at Eastern Michigan University. She taught grades 3, 9, and 11 before going on to serve as a dean, assistant principal, and eventually principal. During her time as a school leader, she secured more than a half-million dollars in grant money to personalize learning for her students and dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline by creating a pathway to college for all kids. Her passion for the work can be best summarized by a quote from Marian Wright Edelman: “The question is not whether we can afford to invest in every child; it is whether we can afford not to.” As a Ph.D. candidate in Educational Leadership and Counseling, Jillian is committed to changing the narrative and proving what is possible for Black and Brown kids and in the city of Chicago through the lens of equity for humanity.
