Turning Pain into Power-for-Change One Chessboard at a Time

Welcome to Grandmothers on the Move! I'm your host, Ilana Landsberg-Lewis, and today I was touched and inspired by my conversation with Ms Raydell Lacey, a grandmother – and great-grandmother! – in Chicago, who started a remarkable initiative – Not Before My Parents. She expanded it to include Chess Moves against Violence… I call this Turning Pain into Power-for-Change One Chessboard at a Time. This is a Super-Grandmother on a mission to make her community safer for its children. Grandmothers – from the living room to the courtroom – making powerful contributions in every walk of life. We know them most intimately as loving caregivers, the older women in our lives with a thousand stories about their grandchildren and pictures in their purses…. In this podcast, you’ll come to know even more about our Grandmothers – they are galvanized, determined and are guaranteed to get you thinking! What drives them? What are they up to? What is the potential of Grandmother power, and how is it changing the world?! Grandmothers are on the move…you don’t want to be left behind!Support the show
