Springboard to Opportunities
This past weekend three of our fellows attended the Grassroots Assembly for Child Care regional gathering in Baton Rouge! They had the chance to connect with other moms and child care providers to learn more about the policies and system that govern child care.
They found ways to build a collective voice and the power to create a stronger child care system that works for all families. It was a weekend filled with learning, building connections across the south, and creating joy together!

“We continue this work each day at Springboard helping our families recognize their own worth and tell new stories about themselves, ensuring our moms can tell their stories in the media, through public advocacy, through partnerships like Front & Center, and through events like our Annual Night of Storytelling, where our families stories really get to shine. Speaking of the Night of Storytelling, we’ll be making an announcement very soon about our 2026 event, so please stay tuned! As always, we appreciate your partnership in this work and your support in continuing to change the narrative around poverty around the country. Together, we can tell a new story where all families have the opportunity to thrive.”
Yours in Service,
Aisha Nyandoro

“Changing the story is imperative not only for justice, but also for economic vitality. People living in poverty — and those facing economic insecurity — are major contributors to the economy as workers, consumers and neighbors. When too many remain trapped by outsized housing costs, low wages, and inadequate health care, the entire economy suffers; with a disproportionate negative effect on people of color. Increased inequality leads to weaker demand, higher health and social costs and greater social instability.”
The newest addition to the Front & Center series with Ms. Magazine is LaTisha.

RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT: LaTisha 💚
What are the differences between Universal Basic Income and a Guaranteed Income?
There have been several articles that have surfaced recently surrounding guaranteed income and how it affects communities all across our country. Since this is one of our areas of expertise we thought it was best for our CEO to get on camera and clarify a few things.
Take a listen.
