For over a decade, our guest today, Christina Spencer, worked as a teacher, instructional coach and curriculum specialist in the US and the Middle East. She often found herself challenged to find early childhood learning resources that reflected and engaged the many Black and brown children she taught. Knowing that kids learn more effectively when they see representations of themselves and their learning, resources, and toys. Christina founded ABSee Me, an educational company that develops tools to foster engagement and cultivate learning environments that are reflective of its students. ABSee Me was one of the 150 ventures selected in Goldman Sachs’s highly competitive One Million Black Women – Black in Business program and its Christina products can be seamlessly integrated into any curricula to provide teachers with inclusive ways to enhance instruction and ensure every student feels valued. ABSee Me’s products and resources are also invaluable to parents and caregivers who want their children to see themselves and their experiences as they learn, play, and engage with the world. Christina has a BS in Human Ecology and a Master’s in Early Childhood Education from the Ohio State University, and she is here today to talk to us about ABSee Me and why its work is more timely and necessary than ever.
