POPULARITY
Think back to when you were young. Can you remember a moment when an adult truly listened to you, took your opinion seriously, and made you feel like your voice mattered? Many of us don't have those memories—at least, not until much later in life. But for a child who hears, “You are an expert in your own life. Your voice matters,” the impact can be profound. That's exactly what UNICEF's Child-Friendly Cities Initiative is working toward. And just recently, Decatur, GA, became one of the first cities in the U.S. to receive this designation. But what does it actually mean for a city to be ‘child-friendly'? And how do we ensure that youth participation isn't just symbolic, but truly embedded in governance, policy, and community life?Today, we're joined by Danielle Goldberg, Managing Director of the Community Alliance for Child Rights, and Anne Day, who is the Senior Director of Research, Evaluation, and Research Partnerships at UNICEF USA.Skip Ahead:(01:31) Why children's voices are often missing in governance, and how this impacts policymaking and funding decisions.(7:56) How the “Child-Friendly Cities Initiative” helps local governments adopt child-centered governance strategies.(13:10) How are cities selected.(15:25) How did Decatur, GA achieve Child-Friendly City status, and what unique steps did they take to become more child-friendly?(18:19) What are the challenges in evaluating large-scale, systems-level initiatives like CFCI, and what indicators define success?Connect with Danielle and Anne and learn more about the Child Friendly Cities Initiative.Read the full show notes HERE.P.S.

The eighth episode of the FireSide Stories- Human Library is available on Youtube and all podcast streaming sites for your listening convenience. Our guest today is Anne Day.

Her focus and driving force has always been on helping women realize their potential and finding success on their terms. She firmly believes in helping women and the power and strength in collaboration. Surrounding yourself with people who "get you" and want you to succeed can make all the difference. Your tribe, if you will.

Listen in as my co-author Anne Day shares her journey in writing, business, and a life well-lived.

She’s also the host of the podcast Day by Day, author of seven books, and an award-winning entrepreneur.
Trusting synergy and saying yes to new opportunities even when you’re unsure you’ll be successful, is how I became an author. In a lunch with co-author Anne Day, a book idea was born and a three-year adventure connecting to over 350 women to uncover what holds them back began. Mining the stories of over 150 interviews, we uncovered core themes that drive feelings of not good enough and identified strategies to get women unstuck resulting in our book Good Enough Embrace who you are. Unleash your Brilliance.
