In this article, I explore ways in which three different models of ‘teacherness’ and ‘Black womanness’ have functioned as powerful influences on how I have come to envision myself and my role as a professional artist, art educator and art teacher educator. I present portraits of three teachers whose personas, pedagogies and overall presence have shaped my professional identity, self-concept and pedagogy. I conclude by highlighting the importance the roles our identities, cultures and the teachers to whom we are exposed to play in shaping who we become as teachers. I also reflect on how these role models profoundly influence the messages we internalize and convey about ourselves, others and the subjects we teach.
