Listen to the Common Good Data Podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
We’re joined this week by Gerard Littlejohn, Executive Director of the Steve Smith Family Foundation and co-host of the podcast Cut to it with former NFL player Steve Smith Sr. We kick off the podcast talking about Gerard’s work in East Charlotte, where his organization supports housing challenged students connect to class during Covid-19 through the innovative Virtual Learning Center.
We also discuss how the Foundation provides critical holistic health care services to families in the community living on the margins. Gerard then shares his work with Steve Smith Sr. in the Cut to It podcast, and how they weave racial trauma, health, and mental wellness in their conversations with professional athletes.
