Daniel Caldwell – caregiver and advocate
On May 13, 2021, BOLD hosted Through the Night: Where’s the Safety Net? – a post-screening discussion of Through the Night. The film, directed by documentary filmmaker Loira Limbal and broadcast on PBS throughout the month of May, is a monumental work of cultural organizing that gives a platform to child care providers, who are predominantly women of color. The film tells the story of a 24-hour child care provider, Delores “Nunu,” her husband Patrick, and the working mothers who struggle to afford child care for their children and for whom Nunu’s day care center is a haven. Panelists in the discussion around the film included:- Loira Limbal, Through the Night director – an Afro-Dominican filmmaker and DJ and the Senior Vice President of Programs at Firelight Media
- Jacklyn Izsraael, a labor and community organizer, a community doula and the GA Organizing Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance
