marie.tiuco ,

More non-white voices please!

My kids are loving this podcast—they love Emily! It’s really nicely produced and none of us mind listening to the episodes on repeat. As a parent, though, I’d appreciate hearing from professionals who aren’t white. I’m honestly shocked at the lack of diversity here.
