In this episode of Children Deserve Better, Dr. Jasmine Moses takes a hard look at the popular saying, “It takes a village,” and asks the question no one seems willing to: What kind of shape is that village actually in?

She advocates for community action and mutual aid, encouraging listeners to engage in local decision-making and support community spaces. The conversation highlights the need for systemic change to ensure a better future for children.

Top Takeaways: 

• Community support is essential for raising children.
• The idea of a village is often romanticized but not practiced.
• Systemic neglect affects children's access to education and care.
• Caregivers are overwhelmed and under-supported.
• Advocacy is necessary for change in community resources.
• Rebuilding after destruction can lead to new growth.
