In this episode I’m in dialogue with a fellow woman of color podcaster, Natasha Pepperl.

Natasha is a foster mom to a teen girl and as a woman of color, she is passionate about finding and sharing diverse perspectives when it comes to foster care.

On this episode we push the edges of our definitions of family, discuss how to care for one another to sustain  good work, and we confront power-dynamics and white-savior complex in foster families!
