@rachelnpr@MorningEdition@rachelnpr would love to connect with you - I fit this to a T, used to work in corporate, left to be a SAHM, launched a startup called Flexable to support working parents, had to shut the company down due to COVID, now working with another startup to support working parents
@dianaransom a pitch for you if you're interested - FamilyTech as the new social activism post pandemic because so many working parents believe the government abandoned them. My former startup @FlexableCare was in that space as well
Thank you to founder @praman79 of virtual childcare site @FlexableCare on finding space in your heart to share wisdom and learnings as your organization ceases operations

It breaks my heart even writing this, but after 5 amazing years, we made the very tough decision to close @FlexableCare down. While I don’t know what I’ll do next, I am grateful to Jess Strong and everyone who has worked with us, supported us or used our services along the way❤️
After five years of serving our community, Flexable is closing down its operation. We have worked hard to bring high-quality on-demand childcare to working parents across the nation, and we appreciate your support in helping us every step of the way.
Maybe 4/20 can now be the day we celebrate America standing up and saying no to police brutality, affirming that you will go to jail when you murder innocent people no matter what uniform you wear. #DerekChauvinTrial

THIS - childcare is an economic issue and not an individual one; it is a vital part of our nation's infrastructure that is needed to make our economy stronger again.
In America, childcare should be readily available and affordable for all who need it. Childcare workers should be paid fairly and treated with dignity and respect. And small business owners who run childcare centers must be fully supported.
