The [Inclusion] Conversation - Solo Episode w/ Grace!

Welcome to The [Inclusion] Conversation Podcast! We hope you enjoy this solo episode as we continue to observe during National Adoptee Month. This podcast dives into the world of work, careers, and life for Adoptees, Foster Care Alumni, our allies, parents, child welfare professionals, policy experts, and all within the Adoptee and Foster's orbit. This episode features our Founder & CEO, Grace Yung Foster, who is also the host of the show. During this episode, we talk about Thanksgiving, the complexities for Adoptees and Fosters around this holiday, and all holidays, what allies can do, the dominant narratives of adoption/foster care and why they are harmful, and we also hear a little bit about Grace's past holidays as a young adult first navigating being on her own for the holidays.
