Lynette asks Dr. Boynton-Jarrett about experiences that shaped Dr. Boynton-Jarrett's understanding of community, and her own development as a leader. Together they reflect on their experiences as women of color in positions of leadership, and what leadership looks like amid a pandemic and renewed calls for racial justice. Dr. Boynton-Jarrett shares what she believes is needed to ensure the child care sector is more equitable, inclusive and just.
