Episode 54 is with advocate and outspoken champion for BIPOC, Lark Sontag from the Will Start Small Collective.
Lark's points include a very honest and uncomfortable array of topics regarding the current injustices of COVID, how child care is rooted in oppressive policies and how much of the programming in early childhood is for the benefit of white populations that hold power. Take a deep breath in this hard-hitting episode and be ready to advocate for child care teachers.
