Social Worker-turned-school Founder Gets Student Surprise

Guest host tWitch welcomed Valerie Groth from Chicago. She shared that she left her job as a social worker in 2014 after losing a 12-year-old student, Ryan Banks, to gun violence. She opened a school in his name and explained how her mission is to provide kids a holistic experience with both academic and mental health support. tWitch also surprised her with a special appearance from some of her students, as well as a much-needed gift from Arteza!
