Kick off the season with a powerful and inspiring workshop led by Jeaneau Julian. Using children’s literature, the Orff process, and personal storytelling, Jeaneau will guide participants through narratives that confront difficult truths—such as the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921—while celebrating moments of Black joy. This session invites educators to reflect, grow, and explore meaningful ways to bring inclusive storytelling into their classrooms.
Whether you’re preparing for Black History Month or striving to teach with more empathy and honesty all year long, this workshop offers valuable tools and inspiration.
Jeaneau Julian is an educator in Washington with a B.A. in Instrumental Music Education from the University of Oklahoma and an M.A. in TESOL from Arkansas Tech University. She is certified in Orff Schulwerk and currently serves as Vice-President of the American Center for Elemental Music and Movement (ACEMM).
