Listen "Rewriting the Poverty Narrative"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I speak with Aaron Earlywine and Maddie Mitchell to challenge narratives that assume “poverty is a personal failing” or “people in poverty are helpless.” Aaron shares insights from his work as a pastor and counselor, stressing the value of kindness and community, while Maddie explains how her perspective shifted from making assumptions to recognizing the strengths and agency of families in need. Together, they discuss moving from “doing for” to “walking alongside,” highlight the resourcefulness of those experiencing poverty, and show how listening and respect can help rewrite the narrative. at our blog.
