  • Summary

  • Warning" This episode discusses self-harm.

    On April 18, 2019, 15-year-old Nigel Shelby died by suicide in response to constant homophobic, anti-Black bullying at school. His mother, Camika Shelby, stops by the class to discuss keeping Nigel’s legacy as he celebrates his 21st birthday (2/1) with our ancestors. Camika reminds us of the importance of everyone using every available resource to support our babies. She says that if a child doesn’t have a safe space at home, they will go looking for it elsewhere. She provides lessons she’s learned, including through loss and in grief, for caring and compassionate adults. Listen to the episode and read her book, “A Need for Nigel.”
