REAL LOVE offers strategies that are rooted in the theory and practices of Culturally Responsive Pedagogy. Through this book, Alexes Terry challenges educators to reconsider outdated and oppressive educational practices and pushes them to cultivate and sustain learning environments, education experiences, and lessons that are equitable, engaging, and enlightening, and will meet the social, emotional, cultural, and academic needs of all students–especially those who have given up on the education system, and life, because they see no other way out.

She is passionate about coaching and supporting educators in cultivating and sustaining culturally responsive learning spaces without compromising their social, emotional, cultural, or overall wellness needs as educators.

Her struggles to show up in classrooms as her REAL self pushed her into the field of wellness. Alexes is a professional educator and scholar with over a decade of experience in teaching, coaching, mentoring, and leading educators. She believes that coaching educators to pedagogical and personal success is more than just a profession or a passion, it is her ministry.
