Ep.3: Creating an Oasis for Black Kids: Ozanne and Marlon Anderson Lead with Love

Listen in to a honest conversation over dinner about the experience of Black youth in our public school system and how Nehemiah has worked for decades to bridge the gap for kids of color. Nehemiah staff members Andrea Dearlove and Eli Steenlage sat down with Ozanne Anderson, Nehemiah Director of Youth Development and Education, and her husband Marlon Anderson, Security Assistant at West High School in Madison, to get their personal and professional perspective.

Ozanne and Marlon are committed to Black youth excellence through high standards of academics, leadership development, building self-worth, and a positive cultural identity. Their goal is creating empowering learning environments, so youth can love, learn, and thrive.
