Soapbox Diaries S4 E7 w/ Lesley Jones Sessler

from Soapbox Diaries · host Tina V. Bryson

After reaching the age of 18, 20 percent of children who were in foster care will become instantly homeless. Less than 3 percent of children who have aged out of foster care have a chance to earn a college degree. My guest today is fighting to change that.  On this week's episode of Soapbox Diaries, our guest is Lesley Jones Sessler, a nationally recognized and award winning educator and regional specialist with Foster Success.  This is the third episode in our Women's History Month series. We discussed her fight for children on the margins.
