About this listen

The National Black Child Development Institute’s work is centered on creating infinite possibilities for Black children, families, and communities. The institute is gearing up for its annual conference on Oct. 24 – 26 in Atlanta. “Closer Look” host Rose Scott talks with Terri-Nichelle Bradley, a conference board member and founder of the Brown Toy Box, about the conference that will include panels, a Toy and Media Awards ceremony and more.

Plus, federal cuts to SNAP benefits combined with immigration raids have added to the problem with food insecurity for some in the Latino community. Santiago Marquez, the CEO of the Latin American Association, and Gilda “Gigi” Pedraza, the executive director of the Latino Community Fund of Georgia, discussed the unfolding situation and how their respective institutions are responding.
