 Bilingualism, Equity & Advocacy with Dr. Maggie Marcus 📻 Meeting You Where You’re At Podcast In this inspiring episode, host Richard Juknavorian sits down with Dr. Maggie Marcus, Executive Director of the Sullivan Family Charitable Foundation, Fellow at the Century Foundation, and a passionate advocate for equitable access to dual language education. Together, they explore: 🌍 Maggie’s personal journey — from teaching Spanish in Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, to raising her own children bilingually. 🏫 How early experiences shaped her career in bilingual education and systems change. 🧠 The powerful intersection of language access, mental health, and culturally responsive learning. 💡 What “relational philanthropy” looks like in action and why it matters in educational equity. 🏫 Models of dual language instruction that work — and what school districts and policymakers still get wrong. 📣 A call to action for anyone looking to volunteer, mentor, or support multilingual learners in their local community. Whether you're a parent, educator, policymaker, or aspiring social innovator, this episode offers rich insights into the real-world challenges — and possibilities — of creating equitable, multilingual education systems. 🔗 Learn more about Maggie and her work: 🌐 Sullivan Family Charitable Foundation - https://sullivanfamilycharitablefoundation.org/ 🔗 The Century Foundation - https://tcf.org/ 🔗 Connect with Maggie on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/margaret-marcus-ph-d-8547b450/ 🎙️ Subscribe for more stories of impact, resilience, and social innovation from women leading change.
