Summary

Learn how one small business is transitioning to an all digital-only experience for its kid clientele and expanding its work force and creating job opportunities for more individuals at the same time. Sarah Fazam, founder of Bilingual Birdies, began the business over 12 years ago to encourage cross-cultural awareness through foreign language and live music curriculum. The programs teach Spanish, French, Mandarin, and English (ESL) through live music, movement, dance, puppetry, and theatre-based games. Sarah is of Mexican and Iranian descent. Her parents met in an ESL program, and as she says, "language is a part of my legacy." For more, check out www.bilingualbirdies.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
