WE GOT US NOW podcast shines a spotlight on the invisible population of 10 million children and young adults in the US impacted by parental incarceration. WE endure the collateral consequences of mass incarceration in the US. Our Stories are often unknown and untold. Our Traumas are misdiagnosed and overlooked. Our Futures are often misrepresented and our experiences are unheard. WE will NO longer be silenced by our pain. These are OUR STORIES! To learn more, go to www.WEGOTUSNOW.org
