Join Cherese and J.T. as they simply have a condid conversation about the performance that takes place in the Academy. In front of a classroom, in a meeting, at a conference, in a zoom window; Whether it's positive, negative, neutral, or more complicated, there is often an "audience" and "performer" in these spaces and it's often made invisble. What are your thoughts on the matter? ________________________ Find BIA on the socials IG - @biapod Twitter - @bia_pod As always, please rate and review us to help us out and make sure other folks can find the podcast too!  Peace.
