ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in preceding chapters of this book. The book starts with stripping down to what fundamentally informs the author's life, which is that he is a seeker on the path. It discusses editors' approaches of the narratives of transformative experiences in their colleagues' lives with reverence and the intention to first, listen. Story-telling and counter-storytelling are the core of the book, and they found that representing their experiences through the genre of story was challenging for a group of academic writers (editors included), who were conditioned and well practiced in the conventions and expectations of scholarly discourse. Many of the memories in the book involve teachers, like Amber Jean-Marie Pabon, Jennifer Turner, and Ashley S. Boyd, who saw their students being underserved in their schools through intersecting marginalizing structures.
