Warning! This episode mentions sexual violence.

This episode unpacks the healing powers of the blog "The Lost Daughters." Amanda created the blog, whose group of adoptee contributors is ever growing, to propagate her mission of empowerment and peace. I found the blog on facebook and submitted a piece on racism. Amanda is a licensed master social worker, a therapist, an author, a speaker, podcast host and teacher. She is also the co-founder and co-owner of Roots Incorporated. This conversation illuminates the importance of holding our stories sacred, being our authentic selves no matter the history, and embracing one another in solidarity. All things we desperately need right now!
