195. Connecting with the Black Down Syndrome Association (ft. Kelli Caughman & Crystal Lotterberry)

Happy February, friends! We’re celebrating Black History Month with two of our favorite mamas (and returning guests!), Kelli Caughman and Crystal Lotterberry. Both of these ladies are raising kids with Down syndrome while running their new non-profit organization: The Black Down Syndrome Association. And friends, the work they’re doing is SO good. Today we’re talking about the many inequalities Black individuals with DS face, tokenism vs. intentionality, and how we can advocate and support every member of the DS community. Note: we had some technical issues during recording.. but this episode was too good not to air.
