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.
