This week’s mini episode is a love letter to children. Prentis reflects on how they are carrying the greatest weight of cruelty in our time—and why failing to protect them betrays our future. Prentis also shares an invocation to James Baldwin and borrows from his moral clarity to ask what it means to intervene when children are being harmed.Apply for the Becoming the People In-Person Training May 6-9thRSVP for the Being the ground: Toolkit for care and connection in crisis response webinar April 13thSupport the showThe Becoming the People Podcast Team: Producers: Prentis Hemphill & devon de Leña Sound Engineer and Editing: Michael Maine Special Production Support: Jasmine Stine Original Music: Mayyadda
