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 recorded an eye-opening episode with Sarah and Wendy, two passionate community voices, diving deep into the reality of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in Solano County.While BESS is often presented as “clean energy,” our guests shed light on the serious risks:⚠️ Toxic chemicals that can leak into our soil, water, and air.⚠️ Fire and explosion hazards that put our neighborhoods at risk.⚠️ Long-term health impacts from exposure to harmful emissions.⚠️ Environmental damage that threatens our families’ safety and future.This isn’t just a conversation — it’s a call to be informed and proactive. The choices we make today will determine whether we create a thriving and safe community for generations to come.

We had the incredible honor of sitting down with Chief Executive Anna Dinh Eaton of the Vacaville Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club for an upcoming episode of both the Solano Moms Building Community Podcast and Tomorrow’s Table Podcast and let me tell you, it was nothing short of inspiring.Since 2003, Anna has been a relentless advocate and beacon of hope for thousands of youth across Solano County. Under her leadership, the Club has not only provided a consistent, nurturing space for kids to grow, learn, and thrive, but is now moving boldly into the future with a $5.5 million capital campaign aimed at expanding their 13,805 sq. ft. Clubhouse. This means more room, more programs, and deeper impact for the kids who need it most.Anna’s passion radiates in everything she does and it’s contagious. Her personal mantra? “Be patient. Give kids time and understanding.” Those words reflect her deep wisdom and the kind of leadership our communities truly need.

We had the honor of welcoming Tyler Dorman, Development Manager at Meals on Wheels Solano County, to our upcoming Tomorrow’s Table episode! Tyler’s passion for serving seniors shines through his dedication to ensuring no senior in our community feels alone or goes hungry. Before joining Meals on Wheels, Tyler worked in film locations management with Paramount and Netflix, bringing creativity and energy into everything he does. Today, he uses those skills to build support and awareness for Meals on Wheels across Solano County, ensuring seniors receive nutritious meals and caring connections. There is always an impactful fact and surprise in every conversation and today was no exception! Did you know that Tyler’s inspiration for community outreach began at a young age through music? And guess who in our community was his music teacher? None other than Patty Philips, one of the hosts of Solano Moms Building Community Podcast. Patty set a great example for Tyler early on, shaping the way he now gives back to the community.
