Do you believe in fairies? You will after watching Episode 2 of the Tenacious Teacher Podcast™! Join Atelierista Adia Harris as she guides us into the magical world of her early childhood art studio, located in the same school where one of former first lady Michelle Obama’s favorite artists, painter Alma Thomas, once explored her talents. Adia ignites a passion for learning by engaging young minds in process art, Black History, and yes, the wonderful world of fairies! Adia is a tenacious teacher at Friendship Armstrong Elementary and Middle School in D.C.

Adia shares an enchanted moment: “There’s flora hanging, twinkle lights, and a note on wall… Dear children, I met Ms. Adia and I’m fairy. She told me you were looking for treasure…look for the things other people overlook.”
