Israel had an incredible conversation with his really good friend and former co-teacher, Lavinia Aguião. Lavinia is a Brazilian-Portuguese educator in Washington DC. She earned a Master in Education from Georgetown University and a BA in Human Relations and a minor in Women’s Studies from Trinity Washington University. 

In our conversation, we discussed…

  • How she approaches working with Black and brown students in a 
    “I gotchu” lens rather than in a white savior complex framework 
  • The value of having openly queer Black and brown male educators 
  • The importance of not perpetuating intergenerational trauma in our discipline practices
  • How communities of color have leveraged our collective finesse capital to navigate racist financial systems and institutions in the US
  • How anti-Blackness and colorism play a huge role in our money journeys
  • And so much more!
