Episode 6 - Rewriting the Story: When Schools Call Children “Slow”

Dr. Tracy White sits down with literacy advocate and nonprofit leader Dr. Tracy Johnson Rockmore for a deeply personal conversation about dyslexia, faith, and the fight for literacy justice. After years of being labeled “slow” and struggling through school without proper support, Dr. Rockmore shares how a late dyslexia diagnosis transformed her life and led to the creation of Vessels of Hope, a nonprofit serving children and adults with learning differences. Together, they unpack the emotional impact of illiteracy, why literacy is a human rights issue, and how educators can help children reclaim hope, identity, and purpose.
