Today’s conversation is about books, stories, and the kind of inspiration that doesn’t stay on the page. Our guest, Jameelah Hanif, grew up facing barriers that could have turned anyone bitter or hopeless. Instead, she transformed those experiences into fuel—building a movement that gives back the support she didn’t have growing up.

What I love about Jameelah’s work is this: the most powerful solutions often come from people who’ve lived the problem. She knows the obstacles, she’s walked the path, and she understands how to help others move forward with dignity. You’ll hear her confidence, her love for community, and her respect for every person in every answer she shares.

If you believe stories can spark change—and that healing can become service—this episode is for you. Let’s jump in.”

Today we’re sitting down with Solano County Supervisor Mitch Mashburn—a leader known for steady service, humility, and heart. Patty and I talk with Supervisor Mashburn about what real leadership looks like at the local level, how family and community shape his decisions, and the future he envisions for Solano. We’re also joined briefly by Danette from Mercado, who shares gems of Fairfield history and place. This episode is full of laughs, lessons, and Solano roots, let’s dive in.

Today’s recording with Jared Austin, Co-Founder and Superintendent/CEO of Kairos Public Schools, was one of the most impactful conversations we’ve had on Tomorrow’s Table Podcast and Solano Moms Building Community Podcast.From discussing schools and education innovation to exploring AI in education, Jared shared powerful insights on how student-centered learning and community partnership can transform education and prepare tomorrow’s leaders. His passion for empowering students, mentoring educators, and strengthening families was inspiring to witness in person.
