Description
Growing Up in America is a production of Children at Risk: The Voice of Texas’ Children, a non-profit organization dedicated to research, public policy, law and collaborative action on behalf of Texas’ Youth. Every week we aim to fill these same 60 minutes with lively discussion on the children of Texas with experts on the quality of life for our children. Of course, we have regular segments like Data of the Day, which our teaser number is 45%. We have a special guest for the Data of the Day, Nadia Valliani, Director of Community Philanthropy, Greater Houston Community Foundation. Today’s guests and topics are:
- Errica Dodson, Writers in school
- Rev. Jessica Shannon, Master of Divinity
- Venetia Peacock, HCDE
- Dr. Jamie Freeny, Mental Health America
- Nicole Li Ma, Organizing and Policy Associate at Woori Juntos
We hope you will be with us throughout the show as we discuss the issues as they affect the children of Houston, and the Children of Texas....
