My heart is full hearing these two amazing women in conversation. Their conversation highlights the critical role of family dignity and agency and how important it is to bring a #racialjustice and #genderequity lens to this work. Proud to be a partner in this awesome effort.

They paid a living wage with health insurance and enough money for #ChildCare and allowed his mother to care for family when needed. forbes.com/sites/dporterfiel…
