They Teach. They TikTok. And They’re Changing Lives... One Video (and Learner) at a Time!

Loading player...
Two incredible teachers. One unforgettable conversation.

On this week’s episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we sit down with Mrs Bullock and Riaan du Rand... two South African educators who are not only changing lives in the classroom but also lighting up TikTok with their humour, honesty and heart.

You might recognise Mrs Bullock from her viral dance videos that brought joy to millions, and Riaan from his sharp, funny (and sometimes emotional) “Dear Parents” and “Dear Teachers” series (not to mention that iconic “Diddy” moment).

But beyond the likes and shares, they’re using their platforms to open up meaningful conversations about education, mental health, connection and the power of showing up authentically.... both online and off. And of course, there is dancing!

This episode is full of laughs, goosebumps and real moments that will make you fall in love with teachers all over again.
