Childcare providers are also essential workers on the front line of this pandemic...too often overlooked, their work and voices matter.......
Nine months into the Coronavirus pandemic, childcare providers are doing double and triple duty supervising school aged kids with remote learning for much of each day, while doing their regular duties caring for the children of working parents. But providers fear that if and when schools reopen, their risk of COVID exposure will increase as kids shuttle back and forth between daycare and classrooms. They're placed between a rock and a hard place as their dilemma is unnoticed and under appreciated. In this episode, childcare providers Jamila Ife Wilson and Tahiti Tamer make their voices heard.

Check out this week's Hope from the Front Lines....why COVID19 has nursing home care givers at their breaking point https://fb.watch/1L8rYHAD-A/
Throughout Chicagoland and across the country nursing homes continue to bear the brunt of the Covid-19 pandemic. For the past 11 months, the linoleum tiled hallways of these facilities have carried not only orderlies, gurneys, and residents, but also more than 38% of all Covid-19 related deaths in America. But what many don’t know is that staff of these facilities, and the industry advocates that fight for them were not in the least bit surprised by the magnitude of the tragedy. For decades now they have watched owners cut staff in favor of profit, leaving facilities unable to properly care for their residents. LISTEN HERE... bit.ly/HFTFL-breaking

Check out this week's episode....reported and produced by co-executive producer @Maurice Bisaillon!
"Why I gotta find out on the news that a resident of our facility has died?" In Episode #4, we look at two Chicago facilities taking very different approaches to protecting their staff and residents during the pandemic. Bridgeview Healthcare Center neglected to test residents showing symptoms of Coronavirus, leaving uninformed staff members at risk of catching the virus. Sheridan Village took an opposite approach testing all residents who showed symptoms, and immediately quarantining them if they tested positive. Two different approaches, two different outcomes.

If you've known me for more than a minute, you know that I'm a passionate devotee of natural healthcare and herbal remedies (in addition to Juneteenth Productions, but of course ;). For over 20 years I learned under the care and tutelage of the highly skilled naprapath Dr. Gene Ridley how to improve my and my family's health - and some pretty serious conditions - with the natural herbal products, Herbal Solutions. Dr. Ridley did the homework and took the guesswork out of herbal remedies with these proprietary formulations. He died unexpectantly last year, and I've been gifted with the privilege of extending his legacy and knowledge through Herbal Solutions - with a new look, Facebook and Instagram site and online store: https://herbalsolutions.net Please like, follow and check us out!
We help people manage acute and chronic conditions by providing herbal blends and resources. Womxn-owned and operated with 30+ years of experience. Celebrating the legacy of the late certified Herbalist & Doctor of Naprapathy, Dr. Gene Ridley.
