Latoya Nelson is back with Annie Friday to follow up on the conversation they had last fall on the topic of the need for public school spaces and the need for spaces that can be supportive to families with varying needs. Latoya shares more personally on her own family’s experience fighting for the care, education, and resources for her neurodivergent child. School choice has become a political issue full of buzz words and jargon when really public education is often missing the mark on actually supporting the needs of young people and their families in the narrow conversation. Annie and Latoya both recognize that this is a nuanced topic and far more difficult to get into than a 30-minute podcast could cover in full. We will continue to explore the radical re-visioning of the public education system.

Thanks for listening!
