I became aware of Jeneba Lahai and her work with Yolo County Children's Alliance (YCCA) a few weeks ago when she spoke on a panel hosted by Yolo Community Foundation. She is the director of programs for YCCA, which helps families, particularly non-English speaking families, access services, learn valuable parenting skills, and find support. As an immigrant herself (she is originally from Sierra Leone, West Africa), Jeneba has particular insight into immigrant families' needs during the pandemic.

Thinking about a career in sports broadcasting? Meet the G-Man Gary Gerould, radio play-by-play voice of the NBA’s Sacramento Kings for 36 years, who at the age of 80 is one of the NBA's longest tenured announcers. The G-Man got his start in broadcasting at the age of 14 at a local radio station in a small town in Michigan. Learn about his long broadcasting career and how the sports broadcasting world adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic. Then visit Michigan to learn a few surprising facts about wolverines.
