This week I sat down with my good friend, Taby Marin. Taby currently works as an educator for kids between ages 5 and 6 and is currently pursuing certificates in Childhood education and Sexual health education. We had a great conversation about childhood, family dynamics, and role of education and educators contributing to the societal straight jacket. I hope you all enjoy!
