Dr. Hordge-Freeman’s work with Layla’s house and Anti-Black racism is highlighted

The University of South Florida has chosen Champions’ Layla’s House program as a community partner for their research project exploring the challenges of engaging families in parent education and early childhood programming in Sulphur Springs, a historically black neighborhood. The project, co-led by Dr. Anna Abella and Dr. Elizabeth Hordge-Freeman, will also examine how families experience and participate in virtual parent education and developmental playgroups –  with a focus on how virtual programs affect Black families’ access to programs.
