This powerful episode dives into one of the most emotional and misunderstood issues in language education: teacher identity. From native-speaker privilege to the resilience of non-native educators to the fluid, global identities that defy traditional labels, this monologue unpacks the politics, biases, strengths, and lived experiences shaping teachers today. Raw, honest, and deeply reflective, it challenges outdated narratives and reminds educators that identity is not a limitation — it’s a superpower. A must-listen for anyone navigating the modern ELT landscape.
