In this episode of Be Evolved, I sit down with Anna Toomey, director of the documentary Left Behind, to discuss the realities of dyslexia, the systemic challenges in education, and the urgent need for advocacy. We explore the stories behind the film, the impact on students and families, and what needs to change to support all learners. Stay tuned until the end, where I share my personal reflections after watching this powerful documentary.
