Voices from The Village is a podcast from Women and Children First, to give voice to everyone in the village community who support women and children. Everyone knows “it takes a village to raise a child”. It also takes a village to feel connected as a mother, sister, spouse, single lady, juggling worker, mumpreneur and friend. A trusted village gives women reliable information on, and shares tips, resources and advice. We are straight talking real talk from voices and perspectives that mater to women.
