"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." - Alice Walker

Every crisis provides a distinct privilege to those who chose to embrace it. This does not mean there is no suffering, but rather a space to integrate it into our awareness. The pandemic has provided a unique chance for us to experience life the way youth in foster care do. A sudden and shocking removal from everything familiar... our relationships, our consistent spaces, and a disorienting uncertainty. 

In this episode, we hear pandemic reflections from two members of our community. Their stories are familiar and remind us that our hope and resilience will always endure if we grow and learn from our shared journeys.
