In this episode of A Seat at the Table: Conversations on Leadership, Equity and Innovation, Dr. Lynette Fraga hosts a two-part conversation featuring principals from the documentary film Through the Night, which explores the relationships and community of care within a 24-hour family child care business. In the first half of the episode, Dr. Fraga talks with Loira Limbal, the producer and director of the film, which was selected as a New York Times Critics’ Pick and was selected for a world premiere at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival. In the second half of the episode (jump to minute 19:53), Dr. Fraga talks with Deloris and Patrick Hogan, co-founders and primary care providers at Dee’s Tots Daycare in New Rochelle, New York. The conversations center around the significance of art forms to create social change, the role of child care providers in supporting parents and communities, and how systems must be shaped by those who are directly impacted by them.
