What's in Your Heart of Hearts? with Vice-Principal and Documentary Filmmaker Anthony Perrotta

Today's episode is the story of one teacher's journey to allyship.

We speak with Anthony Perrotta, a Vice Principal and a documentary filmmaker.  Like many first or second generation European immigrants, Anthony grew up  up in a white, suburban neighborhood where, as he says, “white was normalized” Anthony was never really pushed to become self aware.

But when he travelled to one of the most ethnically diverse neighbourhoods in Toronto he began to unlearn, learn  and then re-learn what he thought about education. He had to rumble with his own assumptions and, as you’ll see, began to rumble with his colleges as well.

Anthony didn't stop with mere awareness, though. He became an active co-conspirator using his film making skills to give voice to his students. As you listen, ask yourself how you might do likewise.
