Speaking
I am passionate about making life more equitable for all children. As parents, there is more power in our everyday decisions than we realize. As a former attorney for children in foster care, a mother, and an author, I take a practical, inclusive approach to speaking about the issues. Below is a sampling of the issues and ideas I commonly speak on.
Topics & Subject Matter
Subject areas covered in my book, Wanting What’s Best: Parenting, Privilege, and Building a Just World:
- Childcare
- Schools
- College
- Activism, Mutual Aid, and Grassroots Organizing
- Money, Wealth, and Legacy
Specific Talking Points
- The role of anxiety and fear in modern day parenting culture
- The dark side of privileged parents pursuing “what’s best” for their children
- What systemic inequality looks like in schools and what parents can do to change it
- Inequities in the childcare system and how parents might approach childcare decisions
- The pressures of the college admissions process, and how parents can navigate them without losing their minds
