The quality of a child’s education can determine the quality of their life—and we live in a country of vast educational inequality. Virginia Walden Ford, my guest today, was a mother in D.C. who feared that she would lose her son to the streets unless he had better educational opportunity. Her journey to give him the schooling he needed led to a lifelong calling to give all parents and students the power to choose a school that meets their needs. She’s the subject of the 2019 film, Miss Virginia, and I’m so honored to have her on the show so that you can hear her story. In this episode, she shares universal lessons about the power of getting uncomfortable, how to mobilize large-scale change, overcome fear, and create a life of profound impact.
