Sharonda or Lolo as she was known as was my beautiful mother. Many people are surprised by me when they meet me and know my history of being in foster care but I give the award to my mother for the strong foundation she set for me. This is my open ended letter to my mother, thanks you for taking the pain so I could be free.

Hey, my name is Shalonda, your host. This podcast is about foster care and our experiences growing up in custody. We want to highlight success stories to give the next generation tips on how they can survive foster care and thrive after. I share my experience and advice for what I did and didn't do while giving the lessons that I learned. I look forward to interviewing foster youth, foster parents, caseworkers, and biological families to understand the full story so we all can understand how to work together to create a better system.
