On February 14, 2024, the Created Worthy podcast, hosted by Danielle Damrel, featured an inspiring episode that touched the hearts of many. Titled “Advocating for Learning and Thinking Differences,” this episode sheds light on the remarkable journey of Dr. Myava Clark and her son, Chris Clark Jr., as they navigate their mission to support those with learning and thinking differences.
A Mother’s Dedication
Dr. Myava Clark’s story is one of unwavering dedication and diverse expertise. With a background in Respiratory Therapy and Higher Education Leadership, she brings a unique perspective to her role as an advocate for children’s rights. But it’s her experience as a mother that truly fuels her passion for this cause.
The Birth of CASEN LLC
Together with her son Chris, Dr. Clark co-founded CASEN LLC, a venture born out of personal experience and a deep desire to support other families facing similar challenges. CASEN is more than just a company; it’s a beacon of hope for parents and children navigating the complex world of learning differences.
Chris came up with the idea of CASEN to help other children avoid some of the struggles and pitfalls he encountered with social media as a teenager. Chris wanted to develop a safe online space for children, focusing on children with learning differences.
Creating Safe Spaces
One of CASEN’s key initiatives is CASEN Outreach, which aims to create safe spaces for children with learning differences. In a world where these children often feel isolated or misunderstood, CASEN Outreach provides a sanctuary where they can be themselves without fear of judgment.
Empowering Through Connection
Another vital component of their work is CASEN Connect, a resource designed to promote social wellness and empowerment. This platform serves as a bridge, connecting families, educators, and advocates, fostering a community of support and understanding.
Reshaping the Narrative
Throughout the podcast, Dr. Clark and Chris shared their experiences and insights, emphasizing the importance of reshaping the narrative around learning differences. They stress the need to build self-confidence in children and protect them from bullying, two critical aspects of their advocacy work.
A Legacy of Resilience
Dr. Myava Clark and Chris’ story is a testament to the power of resilience and innovation. Their unwavering commitment to the well-being of every child, particularly those with learning differences, is crafting a legacy that will undoubtedly impact generations to come.
As Danielle Damrel aptly put it at the end of the podcast, “Dr. Myava and Chris, you are both Created Worthy.” Their journey reminds us all of the profound difference we can make when we channel our personal experiences into a mission of support and advocacy for others.
This inspiring episode of Created Worthy serves as a call to action for all of us. It challenges us to look beyond conventional understanding of learning and thinking, and to create a world where every child, regardless of their differences, feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
