Unhappy Teacher Podcast
Unhappy Teacher isn’t just about school—it’s about rethinking the classroom of life. Hosted by Courtney Sillah, this podcast dives into the universal lessons that shape who we are and challenges us to question what education really means.
How do culture, society, and education collide to influence our biggest challenges and breakthroughs? How do life’s struggles, triumphs, and failures teach us more than any textbook ever could? Each episode takes a hard look at the cracks in the education system while exploring how we can reshape learning to better equip us for the real world.
Through raw, thought-provoking conversations with influencers, entertainers, thought leaders, and everyday people, Unhappy Teacher exposes the flaws of modern education, celebrates unexpected wisdom, and redefines what it means to grow and succeed.
Join us as we UNLEARN, RETHINK, and REBUILD a classroom that prepares us all for life’s greatest lessons. Because the greatest classroom isn’t confined to walls—it’s the one we live in every day.

Episode 18: Navigating Life, Identity & Real-World Lessons with Kalvin Leveille
In this powerful episode of Unhappy Teacher, I sit down with Kalvin Leveille—award-winning public health leader, mental health therapist, and advocate for Black and LGBTQ+ communities—for a raw conversation about what it really means to grow up and grow through. From hustling to survive, to evolving into who we’re meant to be, we unpack the lessons the world teaches us—especially the ones school never did. Kalvin shares insight on maintaining identity in chaos, navigating adolescence to adulthood, and how we can create true safe spaces for our young people. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they had to find themselves while the world kept spinning.
