Leadership without relationship is just management—and Alisha Love is here to remind us that culture starts with care.

 

As Director of Student Experience at University Prep Schools in Detroit, Alisha supports ten schools by building community from the inside out. In this episode, she shares how a single structure—Crew—reshapes behavior, rewires relationships, and reveals what students and staff really need to thrive.

 

We talk restorative practices, the hidden costs of disconnection, and what every school leader needs to remember when systems feel strained: you cannot lead from a distance.

 

This is your blueprint for walking with your people before you lead them.
