Rachel Malley: I Love That I Get To Have Such A Direct Impact
Manage episode 330627789 series 2913273
Jayne Amelia speaks with CASA volunteer and book publisher, Rachel Malley. Rachel started volunteering as a Court Appointed Special Advocate in 2019 when she learned about the power of best-interest advocacy for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. During that time she has worked with three wonderful children, and witnessed the ups and downs of Care and Protection cases. At the time of this writing, all the of the three children are in loving and supportive homes. In addition to her role as a CASA, for the last five years Rachel has worked with children’s book author Ty Allan Jackson to promote literacy and financial literacy around the country. Now a co-owner of the small but very impactful publishing company, Rachel is passionate about getting kids excited about reading through Ty’s fun, contemporary books featuring characters of color. Together, they collaborate with educators, non-profits, and cities to reach the children most impacted by illiteracy, and through this work are trying to end the associated cycles of poverty, poor health, and crime. Rachel lives in Western Massachusetts with her wonderful partner and their adorable four-year-old son.
