On this edition of Tiempo, we discuss the importance of family-owned, home-based day care businesses in the Latino community. Over 85% of Latino infants and toddlers in low-income households depend on these businesses, according to the Hispanic Research Center. The Women's Housing and Economic Development Corporation (WHEDco), a nonprofit organization that provides training opportunities for home-related day care providers, serves over 40,000 people annually. Davon Russell, president of WHEDco and Ana Escoto, discuss the critical role these businesses play in the community. The new off-Broadway production, "Publicous," explores the life of a Latina powerhouse who rose through the ranks of the U.S. government to become a high-profile diplomat and ambassador.
