This week's theme is Black Leaders in Literacy and Going from Burnout to Balance - self-care tips from an expert! What's Literacy Got To Do With It? is a community-based podcast for English-speaking, lifelong literacy learners in Quebec.

We also get taught how to look after ourselves through actionable self-care steps that we can put into our lives to live with balance and achieve our fullest potential!
