In this episode of Children Deserve Better, Dr. Jasmine Moses takes a hard look at the popular saying, “It takes a village,” and asks the question no one seems willing to: What kind of shape is that village actually in?

She advocates for community action and mutual aid, encouraging listeners to engage in local decision-making and support community spaces. The conversation highlights the need for systemic change to ensure a better future for children.

Top Takeaways: 

  • Community support is essential for raising children.
  • The idea of a village is often romanticized but not practiced.
  • Systemic neglect affects children's access to education and care.
  • Caregivers are overwhelmed and under-supported.
  • Advocacy is necessary for change in community resources.
  • Rebuilding after destruction can lead to new growth.
