    Description

    On this episode, I had a great time chatting with Aland Stamps. Aland is the founder, President, and CEO of River Jordan Inc. He is a former foster youth who grew up in foster care during the late 70s and 80s. After 11 years in foster care and 20 different placements (foster homes, group homes, and institutions), Aland aged out of foster care, into homelessness, and more. Tune in to hear more about Aland's journey and expertise.

    Resilient Voices & Beyond podcast to showcase the voices which were once silenced. This podcast is here to offer a platform for those voices to be heard and received. On this podcast, we will educate on foster care while challenging and breaking away the stigma and labels surrounding it. Also, we will talk about the child welfare system as a whole and the policies and legislative behind it federally and locally. Last but not least we hope to create and talk about the dialogue on reform that is already happening and that needs to happen.
