In this inspiring episode of What's New on JCrew, host Branden Joseph welcomes a true champion for the autism community, Pornesha Orr, to discuss her journey of advocacy, healing, and building safe spaces for parents of children with developmental disabilities.

Pornesha shares the heart behind her new initiative, "We Listen, We Don’t Judge," a parent support group focused on giving families a space to process intrusive thoughts, break isolation, and build community through shared experiences. The two also reflect on parenting victories, emotional challenges, and why collective action is crucial for supporting families raising children on the spectrum.
