Description
Peter Mutabazi is an entrepreneur, an international advocate for children, and the founder of Now I Am Known, a corporation that supplies resources that encourage and affirm children. A single father of one white son and foster dad to many, Peter is a former street kid who has worked for World Vision and the International Committee of the Red Cross and has appeared on media outlets such as the BBC and the TODAY show. A passionate and popular speaker, he currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.
I am so delighted to welcome Peter back to the show. He recently released his first book, Now I Am Known. When I heard he wrote a book about his experience of not being known and literally not having a name as a child living on the streets of Uganda through his present-day reality of having fostered 27 children, I knew I wanted him to come back for another conversation.
Listen in to hear Peter share:
The current makeup of his family includes an adopted son, 3 foster children, and 2 dogs
How his experience growing up as a street kid in Uganda informed his life and his commitment to helping other children who have traumatic pasts
How one stranger seeing him through a different lens changed his life entirely and how he has used that experience to see others through a different lens
How to meet your kids where they are at vs where you want them to be
His advice to those living in survival mode
His really important mission with his book, Now I Am Known
All the ways we belong to each other - as he supports foster kids, bio parents, and asks his community to step up and support him and other foster kids
