This episode explores a powerful question posed by my six-year-old son: "When is Kid's Month?" This simple question sparks a deeper conversation about inclusion, representation, and the importance of valuing children's voices. Join me as I discuss how this question led to a critical examination of Women's History Month resources and a renewed commitment to creating a culture of inclusion that extends to everyone, regardless of age.
