In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Dr. Andrew B. Campbell—affectionately known as Dr. ABC—for a powerful conversation about identity, scholarship, and community. Dr. Campbell takes us on a journey through his upbringing in Jamaica, early career experiences in the Bahamas and the United States, and his eventual relocation to Canada. He opens up about his doctoral journey and the challenges and triumphs of navigating academia as a Black, openly queer, Jamaican-Canadian immigrant. Now a professor at the University of Toronto, Dr. Campbell shares how he uses his platform to mentor Black educators and foster inclusive, affirming learning spaces. Throughout the conversation, he reflects on what it means to be a community-centered scholar and the importance of showing up authentically in academic and educational spaces. This episode is a must-listen for educators committed to justice, identity-affirming practice, and building community through education.
