In this episode, Heidi Murkoff and Kenneth Braswell delve into the complex and often overlooked aspects of parenting from both maternal and paternal perspectives. Heidi shares her eye-opening experience at Rikers Prison, where she realized that no matter the circumstances, all parents want the best for their children. This epiphany led to the initiation of her 'What to Expect' project, aimed at nurturing the nurturers, and eliminating health disparities among marginalized communities.
Kenneth adds depth to the conversation by emphasizing the evolving role of fathers in today’s society. He talks about the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearing House and stresses that fathers need services as well. He also mentions the Million Fathers March, a campaign aiming to mobilize dads across the U.S., discussing its rebirth after a Covid-induced hiatus.
Both agree that in the United States, there is still a long way to go in supporting parents. From tackling racial disparities in healthcare to implementing effective family policies, this episode explores how collective action can lead to happier, healthier families.
Join Heidi and Kenneth as they unite their advocacy efforts, realizing that it truly takes a village to raise a child and nurture the nurturers. Whether you're a mom, a dad, or anyone who cares about the future of families, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration for all.
