Over Voices For Their Future

Welcome to Voices for Their Future, the podcast where we break down the biggest public health challenges facing kids today—and what we can do about them. We’re a group of parents, pediatricians, and advocates who believe in fighting for a healthier future for all children. In each episode, we sit down with leading scientists, policymakers, and experts to uncover the stories behind the headlines—whether it’s the fight for vaccine access, air quality in schools, or the policies shaping our kids' health. Because when parents are informed, they can be powerful advocates.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Vaccines, Science, and the Future of Children’s Health

Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed joins us for a candid conversation about what it takes to truly prioritize children’s health in today’s dangerous political climate. We explore the fight for COVID vaccine access as federal policies shift, how to challenge “health freedom” rhetoric that ultimately harms kids, and what practical steps parents and local advocates can take when national leadership falls short. Drawing on his experience as a physician, public health leader, and father, Abdul offers insights into the future of health policy — and what he pledges to fight for if elected. This is a must-listen for anyone who cares about science, truth, and building a healthier future for the next generation. As part of our 501(c)(3) nonpartisan commitment, Voices for Their Future has invited all officially declared candidates in the Michigan Senate race whose public contact information was available to participate in this series.

Reclaiming Care- Black Mental Health, Parenting, and Survival

How do Black families navigate pregnancy, parenting, and mental health in systems that too often fail them? In this conversation, researcher and advocate Nadia Mbonde explores the double pandemic of COVID-19 and systemic racism, the gaps in maternal mental health care, and how community care models are reshaping what support can—and should—look like. Together, we examine not only the systemic failures but the practical steps families and communities are taking to build futures rooted in dignity, resilience, and real care.

High-Stakes Schooling & Disability Advocacy

What happens when the structures that support our most vulnerable children suddenly collapse? In this powerful conversation, Alexandra Freidus discusses her chapter "High-Stakes Schooling: Risk, Protection, and the Education of Disabled Children in a Pandemic" from the book How to Be Disabled in a Pandemic. Drawing from both research and personal experience, Alex offers a deeply moving and analytically rich look at how the early months of COVID-19 revealed—and amplified—systemic inequalities for disabled students. We explore how parents, especially mothers, became "vigilante advocates" navigating bureaucratic roadblocks, the emotional toll of constant advocacy, and the ways families and educators can push for more inclusive, supportive schools today. A must-listen for anyone passionate about education, equity, or caregiving in times of crisis.

When Disability Services Disappear: What Covid-19 Taught us about Caregiving Through Crisis

What happens when children with disabilities age out of the systems meant to support them? And what can families do to ensure their futures are protected? In this episode, anthropologists and authors Faye Ginsburg and Rayna Rapp explore the often-overlooked experiences of disabled caregivers and families navigating complex systems during and beyond the pandemic. We talk about how policy falls short, what protections families should expect, and the creative forms of resilience and care that disabled communities have built in the face of systemic neglect. This conversation offers both a critical lens and a hopeful one—rooted in the power of community, advocacy, and the enduring brilliance of disabled lives.
