In episode part 1 of 2 episodes with Lajoy Johnson-Law, we talk about advocacy, self-care, and mental health. When you are a parent with special needs kids you can immerse yourself in your child’s care and unconsciously stop taking care of yourself.

LaJoy Johnson-Law, a parent advocate and DC Board of Education Candidate who is heavily involved in the education landscape in DC. Listen in as she shares various experiences along the way that led her to the kind of parent and person she is today.

Look forward to Part 2 of Lajoy’s episode on October 6, 2020. She discusses how to be a powerful advocate by breaking down sections of the IDEA ACT, who to contact when your school is not providing services, and why she is running for the DC Board of Education.
