When we say it takes a village, this is what we mean.⁠ ⁠ It takes people who show up consistently for all our kids with empathy, honesty, and grace.⁠ ⁠ It’s about care. It's about communities that nurture rather than punish. It's about adults who choose to listen, guide, and believe in young people even when it gets difficult, even when they make mistakes, even when it's easier to drop the responsibility in someone else's lap.⁠ ⁠ LCCR's Youth Advocate Kisha spoke from the heart at our #YJAM2025 film screening, reminding everyone in the room that real change starts with connection.. that real justice is won when we see kids not as cases, but as people worthy of love, patience, and possibility.⁠ ⁠ Drop a ❤️ below If you believe in a world where young people are met with real support instead of judgment!⁠ ⁠ #listenup #NOLA #community #consistency #youthjustice #Ittakesavillage #truthtuesday #motivation #qotd #onelove #micdrop
