In this week's podcast, I talk to my friend Rina about the beginnings and background of Start Lighthouse and Rina's path from a period of uncertainty to knowing her true purpose. We also talk about destiny: people being destined to meet each other, changing destinies for students in low-income neighborhoods in the South Bronx, and how to reimagine and overcome challenges within this lens. We also talk about her passion and work ethic, social calendars and mental health, and trying to save the world one day at a time.
Start Lighthouse is a nonprofit dedicated to addressing childhood illiteracy through an intergenerational approach. 1 in 4 children in the United States grow up without learning to read. You can support them by visiting them at their social media and learning more about their innovative racial justice literacy program for young children.
