In this episode, Marissa sits down for a very candid conversation with fellow Arizona Children's Association Statewide Director of Permanency Services, Imelda Cordova. The conversation is filled with parenting jokes, her first position in the early childhood field working with teen moms, the experience she gained with Kith and Kin (Friends and Family) population and how she manages to juggle her new responsibilities with her family. The work is heavy and does not end at 5:00PM. Arizona's current Foster Care and Adoption system can feel overwhelming for educators and families and it is a relief there are wonderful people like Imelda and the team that works with her to support the work. One of the more bi-lingual episodes filled with plenty of laughs and reflections the listener will find inspiring if not hopeful for our most vulnerable of populations.
