Being a young mother, especially one with limited resources, can not only make it difficult to find work that provides a livable income, but also create space for growth opportunities, education, and support in a way that provides child care.

Today, we invite one of our members, Carmen Dahlberg to talk about her work at Belle Detroit, about how her company empowers young mothers, and how she uses their workspace to create equitable opportunities for her team members.
