This week on Love in Common we are joined by two very special guests- author Linda Villarosa, and her 92 year-old mother and entrepreneur Clara Villarosa (both ladies also happen to be featured in Erin’s 2016 documentary Dream, Girl). From hearing about Linda’s Pulitzer nominated book, Under The Skin, to about how Clara opened the largest African American Book Store in the country, five generations come together to have a rich conversation about what it means to be a social worker in our communities, the importance of art in our lives, and the necessity to sometimes party on a roof top in NYC. Take a listen, we are so glad you are here.
