Soleil Moon Frye on the joys of big families and her public health activism

As a child, Soleil Moon Frye became famous for her breakout role in the eighties show Punky Brewster – then in 2021, she released a critically acclaimed documentary called Kid90. Now, the mom of four, who has been an activist her whole life, is a spokesperson for the public health awareness campaign around the Meningitis B vaccine for children and young adults. In this episode, Liz talks to Soleil about why she’s always felt a responsibility to make the world a better place, why she always wanted to have a big family, and the questions parents should ask their doctor about the Meningitis B vaccine.
