Lessons Learned From Our National Tour (With Latoya Gayle)

As we conclude our national tour, host Gloria Riviera and our partner Latoya Gayle reflect on the lessons learned from advocates and caretakers we met across the U.S. They chat about the inspiration they are taking away from this journey after meeting so many people working to make a difference in the lives of families everywhere.

Later in the episode, Gloria and Latoya discuss how you take the lessons learned and get involved in your community, and walk through exactly what to say when you call your legislator to advocate for more childcare. If you’ve ever wondered how to become an advocate but aren't sure where to start, this is the episode for you.
