Join Dr. Maiysha and Coach Elliott this Friday with their special guest Dr. Jeanine

Staples! This week’s show is titled, “The Supreme Love Project” and this show is going

to kick off 2018 boldly! See you Friday morning at 9a (ET)!

About our guest: Jeanine Staples is Associate Professor of Literacy and Language,

African American Studies, and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the

Pennsylvania State University. Her debut book, The Revelations of Asher: Towards

Supreme Love in Self, explores Black women’s terror in love. As a precedent to the

book, she introduced the concept of “figurative deaths” in her acclaimed 2014 TEDx

talk, entitled, “How to Die Peacefully.”

Dr. Staples has dozens of publications and has spoken globally about how new

literacies education can support personal and public justice work. She has trained over

3500 teachers of underrepresented minority students in cutting edge, anti-racist, anti-

sexist, anti-ableist methods of instruction and assessment. She is an expert in research

on marginalized women and girls, particularly with regard to understanding lover

identity, developing emotional literacy, and promoting emotional justice for social justice.
