In this episode, Teddy and Joe sit down with Christian Motley. More about Christian below:
Christian has served in the administrations of both Governor Steve Beshear and President Barack Obama, fighting for quality early childhood education and expansion of cradle to career initiatives aimed at expanding opportunity for under-served students – driven by the idea that every child can succeed. He is proud to have been a part of the team that took a leadership role to advance My Brother’s Keeper, President Obama’s initiative to create pathways of success for young men and boys of color. In 2015, Christian worked with the Kentucky General Assembly to pass legislation to improve access to high quality early care and education.
As an advocate at the Kentucky Education Association he worked to fund our schools, resource educators in the classroom, and fight for retirement security for working families. Today, he works nationally to support place-based efforts to wrap whole communities around the whole child with results-driven practices to achieve better, more equitable outcomes for kids.
Christian serves as board member for Lexington’s On the Move Art Studio and Big Brothers, Big Sisters of the Bluegrass, and is chairman of Lextran’s board of directors.
