Welcome to Down Syndrome: 21st Perspectives. As mothers of children who have Down Syndrome, Anne and Monique were inspired to create a space to talk authentically about their experiences. Their friend, Leigh, joins them as a cohost and executive producer. The podcast name says it all: A perspective is “a particular way of thinking about or viewing something, influenced by one's experiences and beliefs”. It is our hope that our listeners will be inspired to share their experiences; engage in our community; raise awareness, and create connections and opportunities for advocacy. Join us!

Episode 8: Father's Day - We're going to love him...

In this special Father’s Day episode of Down Syndrome: 21st Perspectives, hosts Anne Lewis, and Monique Johnson, and Leigh Frillici welcome a deeply personal guest—Anne’s husband, Jake Lewis—for a raw, heartfelt conversation about fatherhood, faith, and the unexpected beauty that comes from life's biggest challenges.

Jake shares his emotional journey through addiction recovery, receiving a Down syndrome diagnosis for their son, and learning to embrace vulnerability as a father. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing often begins when we let go of control and choose to love, exactly as we are.
