Meet the Educator

Hi, I’m Miss Dede.

I’m a Black American woman living and teaching in Vietnam — and it’s the best decision I ever made. Every day here is a lesson in beauty, patience, and joy.

I started this channel because I wanted kids everywhere to see that the world is wide, diverse, and full of wonder — and to learn English while feeling that wonder too.
