Andrea reflects on her early years as a teacher, when she held common misconceptions about families in poverty, and describes how her own journey through situational poverty challenged and transformed those beliefs.&amp;nbsp; Andrea shares how repeated judgment can create “forced helplessness” and offers practical advice: build real relationships, include those with lived experience in leadership, and move from “us versus them” to a true sense of shared community. &amp;nbsp; Rethink Community: The Podcast http://thinktank-inc.org <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/37275160/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/190379155
