The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show

The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show | episode 740 | www.Sharvette.com Elizabeth ‘Naja’ Turner is a passionate educator and advocate in the field of Black Science History, committed to uniquely biologically and scientifically teaching people how we see the world. Elizabeth explains how our eyes literally work, why we see what we see, and how to change it. With a deep-rooted curiosity about the universe and its mysteries, her journey into teaching was inspired by her childhood fascination with the Nazca Lines of Peru. These mysterious ancient drawings sparked her interest in uncovering the hidden stories of history, setting her on a path to explore and share the truths of science education. Elizabeth's tenure as a Research Assistant at the Dean McGee Eye Institute provided her with a foundational understanding of the science of the eye, which she seamlessly integrates into her teaching. The slogan "Pretty isn't Pretty! It's Simply What You've Been Trained to See!" captures Elizabeth's core message. She challenges individuals to question their perceptions, urging them to recognize that their views are shaped by societal conditioning rather than objective reality. This philosophy is a cornerstone of her teaching, encouraging students to look beyond appearances and seek the essence of truth.
