This week, Andrea and Paul are joined by Alainah Long, whose son Jedi was poisoned by lead in Chicago, IL. We learn about Jedi's journey with lead poisoning, and how lead exposure has changed life for Alainah and her family. Tune in next week for Part Two of our interview with Alainah and check out the sources below for more information on Jedi's story.
