Have You Heard? Podcast

hosted by Arlyssa Heard


β€œAnd are the children well?” -Traditional Maasai Greeting

Have You Heard? is where bold conversations meet the heart of Detroit. Inspired by the Massai (Kenya and Northern Tanzania) greeting, "And are the children well?", this podcast is grounded in the belief that the true measure of a community's health, peace, and prosperity is found in the well-being of its children. When children are thriving, families are stronger, schools are healthier, communities are safer, and our collective future is brighter

Have You Heard? is authentically Detroit because it's unapologetic! Bringing together parents, educators, students, advocates, policymakers, and community leaders for fiery discussions that challenge conventional thinking, amplify unheard voices, and inspire real solutions. Because every conversation about our children is ultimately a conversation about all of us.
