09 - The Tapestry of Family in Community - Part 1

  • Summary

  • Episode 9 Show Notes

    Today’s guest in the studio is Dr. Renea Butler King, a friend, colleague, and fellow sojourner for equitable systems for the families and children she serves. As we settled into routines for school and work, we wanted to focus on support for families in the community. We know the phrase it takes a village to raise a child, but let’s delve deeper into what the village is composed of. It's a community, of committed and dedicated people who are brave to create spaces for connection, vulnerability, and open and honest dialogue.

    Today’s Episode Overview:

    Introduce the theme of the episode: the importance of family in the community, especially for African American families.

    Explain that this episode will explore stories, learnings, and joys that come from being supported and acknowledged within our communities.
