Episode 5 - Royal Family Kids Camp - For The Children - How Camp Impacted My Foster Youth

It's officially summer! This is a season of nostalgia and I tell you reminiscing of summer camp is so fun! This episode gives you an insight of how an organization like Royal Family Kids Camp offered by non-profit For The Children [https://www.forthechildren.org/about-us/camps] can be a beacon of light shinning through the brokenness a foster child may be experiencing, as well as the positive long-term affects. I hope you feel inspired to give back to your community or to serve someone walking in shoes you once wore.   Have you experienced RFKC? I'd love to hear about it on the gram - @theresilientimprint

Episode 1 - Re-entering The Foster System - Experiencing Removal from Bio Family for The Last Time

Since May is Foster Care Awareness month, I'm kicking off the podcast with an episode briefly detailing the day Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) removed me from my biological family's custody. I hope sharing this story provides a useful insight of how most children are impacted during the removal process and serves as a friendly reminder to anyone with similar experiences that they are not alone.
