Season 7

Published 8 months, 1 week ago
Description
Advocacy comes with a cost—and too often, families carry that weight alone.
In this episode, the BVBOE team holds an honest conversation about the emotional labor behind showing up for your child in school systems that can be challenging to navigate. From exhaustion to burnout, we name the toll advocacy takes—and the resilience it requires.
More importantly, we explore what it means to sustain yourself while continuing to fight for your child and your community. Because advocacy isn’t just action—it's endurance, care, and collective support.
Featuring: Kira Thomas (Auntie of babygirl from last week)
