So grateful for the Care Lab Collective's Back-to-School supports for parents & caregivers of disabled children. Check out this incredible October line up of supports and their new virtual cohort starting this Monday, Oct 5.

TWB Advisory board members Jessica Mingus and Rachel Henes were craving community and connection from folks who understood caregiving for disabled children through a disability justice lens. They couldn't find the support system... so they built it. Come be a part of it.

SHOUTOUT TIME! Today, TWB Advisory Board Chair Jessica Mingus is moderating a panel at the Boys' Club of New York Conference: The Right to Childhood. Jessica and TWB Advisory board member Rachel Henes , co-founders of Care Lab Collective , were invite by BCNY to be a part of this important conversation and showcase CLC in the exhibit space.

TWB is so proud of them and the important work they are doing, both with TWB and CLC.

The panel is called "Defying Stereotypes Through Youth Work" — an intersectional look at how stereotypes about boys and young men of color shrink what childhood is allowed to look like, and what's possible when spaces get built around cultural identity, belonging and healing instead. My esteemed panelist: Dr. Bianca Baldridge (Harvard Graduate School of Education), Tareake Dorill Ramos (Dorill Initiative, BCNY alumnus), and Dr. Joseph Nelson (Swarthmore College), who each have so much to bring to this important conversation.

Registration is full. Join the waitlist (bcny.org/bcny-conference-the-right-to-childhood). Friday, September 18 | 10am–4pm | 873 Broadway, 2nd Floor.
