PeppTalks with Jeanne Pepper Ep 323 Brandi Morey-Pols The Rowan Project

from PeppTalks with Jeanne Pepper

In this episode, Brandi joins host Jeanne Pepper for a raw and necessary conversation about the reality of filicide and the "broken" status of child welfare departments. They discuss the legislative hurdles Brandi has overcome, the bipartisan support for The Rowan Act, and the importance of holding CPS directors accountable for failures in background checks and investigation protocols. It is a story of a mother’s love evolving into a protective shield for all children in the state of Michigan.This interview serves as both a tribute to Rowan—a boy who loved golf and had an infectious smile—and a call to action. Brandi explains how listeners can support lobbying efforts, become "Court Support Advocates," and help designate August 31st as Filicide Awareness Day. Her journey proves that while the system failed Rowan, his legacy is now the catalyst for a safer future for every child in danger.Episode 323Hosted by: Jeanne Pepper Guest: Brandi Morey-PolsProducer: Eli Moskowitz Original Theme: Jay Bernstein Special Thank You to our volunteersFOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE to PeppTalks with JeanneFacebook: PeppTalks with Jeanne PepperInstagram: @pepptalkswithjeanneLinkedIn: Jeanne PepperDISCLAIMER Jeanne Pepper is providing this podcast as a public service.
