    The third installment of our "Tea with Ms. G" Livestream Series is once again re-broadcast here on the Freedom Writers Podcast. Listen to an enlightening and moving conversation with experts on all aspects of the autism spectrum. Our roundtable features two published Freedom Writer authors who are on the autism spectrum themselves, CarolAnn Edscorn and Jayden Braddock, and one inspiring Freedom Writer Teacher who both works with neurodivergent youth and is mother to child with autism, Nancy Rodriguez. The conversation is hosted by our own Erin Gruwell, also known as Ms. G. They touch on topics like sensory overload, the importance of allyship, and the unique advantages of seeing the world through a different lens. Keep listening after the livestream for an excerpt from a wonderful interview out of our archive. We had the pleasure of speaking with renowned autism advocate Temple Grandin in 2021, and you can hear her full interview on episode 72 of the Freedom Writers Podcast.

    Tea with Ms. G - Black History Month Edition featuring John Lewis
    Mar 18 2026
    This is "Tea with Ms. G": a Livestream series hosted by Erin Gruwell and featuring some of the best and brightest minds in the Freedom Writers community. On February 23, 2026, we had a courageous conversation with Freedom Writer Teachers Cameron Lymon and Dr. Robert Hill with original Freedom Writer Latilla Cain. This is that roundtable discussion in honor of Black History Month 2026. Our panelists share pieces of their own complex and beautiful family histories, and we discuss controversial topics plaguing our society today. Topics of discussion include videos released in February 2026 by the current presidential administration that featured highly racist propaganda, as well as the current movement to erase Black History from museums nationwide. We also talk about the power of mentorship in allowing African American kids--and kids of all races--to blossom today, and the importance of taking the time to slow down and let our students be heard.
