  • Raising children is difficult no matter what. Now, imagine trying to do it without secure housing, food or educational resources. Imagine further trying to find assistance in a system that has historically been culturally biased. WEMU's David Fair is joined by Icshia Leatherwood. She is a member of "Trusted Parent Advisors," who are working to empower people of color to access available resources and become greater advocates for themselves and their children.
