  • History, Heritage, and the Heart of a Teacher with Adriana "AD" Flores

    History, Heritage, and the Heart of a Teacher with Adriana "AD" Flores
    Oct 15 2025
    In this episode of The Freedom Writers Podcast, Erin Gruwell sits down with original Freedom Writer Adriana “AD” Flores, a 20-year veteran educator who has dedicated her career to teaching History, Latino Studies, and Ethnic Studies in Long Beach, California. The daughter of immigrant parents from Zacatecas, Mexico, AD reflects on her childhood experiences navigating integrated schools, the lessons she learned from her parents’ resilience, and the power of seeing yourself reflected in history. Through her work, she’s helping a new generation of students understand that history is not distant — it’s alive, human, and deeply personal. Together, Erin and AD explore how inclusive education can bridge cultural divides, empower young people, and rewrite the narrative for communities too often left out of the textbook. This inspiring conversation is a celebration of heritage, history, and the transformative power of education.
