Minnesota-based organization 'Planting People, Growing Justice'. Its mission is
to raise awareness about illiteracy in kids and how that contributes to the
cradle to prison pipeline. They also work to increase representation in books
and toys.

The importance of reading and representation in books with Dr. Artika Tyner - Ep. 24

A community for those raising kids who care about the wellbeing of their mind,
body, community, & the earth. Living a low waste and minimalist lifestyle can
often feel like going against the grain of society. And when you throw kids into
the mix? Finding a community of like-minded individuals to learn from, support,
find encouragement, and overall who share the same values - at a similar level -
can be challenging. This podcast is that community. Join me, your host, a
self-described anxious eco-minimalist, every other week as I dive deep into
issues and topics related to living an eco-friendly and minimalist lifestyle
with kids. But above all, form a community that raises kids who care about the
wellbeing of their own minds, bodies, and our earth (and everything that calls
it home.) Be sure to subscribe to ensure you never miss an episode.
