Ep. 038 They Called Her School w/ Amira Sims

https://play.goldenmicpodcast.com/0038_sims

Even as a child Amira Sims taught. Her first students? Stuffed animals. Within a few years, Amira was giving homework to her new class her family. It’s not a surprise that Amira has been teaching a wide range of undergraduate classes in General Psychology, Human Growth and Development, and my personal favorite Social Psychology.

There is nothing like being paid to do what you love, and Amira has leaned into that as she has traversed the country as an instructor and poet.

While she has the chops to teach, speak and perform, it’s in the moments when she has gone off the script, off the lesson plan where she has found her true unfiltered and unfettered voice.

It’s most apropos that we kickoff a block of guests leading up to TEDxOcala 2020 with Amira’s story as both she and TEDxOcala’s theme encourage us to be ourselves and use our voice in authentically sovereign, powerfully vulnerable and unapologetically joyful ways. 

It’s going to be a veritable cornucopia of diverse voices that will culminate at TEDxOcala, so if there ever was a time to subscribe, rate, and leave a testimonial on the Golden Mic Podcast, it’s now. Don’t miss an interview.

See Amira Sims in a limited live audience or live-stream on Saturday November 7, 2020 from 10am - 4pm EST at the College of Central Florida.
