I’ve known Leticia for a while. She’s brilliant, kind, and lovely. We’ve chatted quite a bit over the years but those chats, sadly, were ever only in passing — between keynote speeches and roundtable discussions at parenting conferences usually; the act of catching up squeezed into the crevices of a dense […]
