Leo Russell is back on the show to talk about her newest book "Yes, That White Woman Wants Your Baby; Stories From the Field of Social Work.  As you may be able to tell from the title, this book is taking a hard and honest look at our Social Workers and the fields that they operate in.  Leo's writing style has a way of blending atrocities and brutal honesty with a dash of humor. Through the natural discussion about her book, we transition into talks about our current government assistance programs and whether or not they are giving us an opportunity for a positive outcome.  There can be a lot of stigmas revolving around CPS, Welfare and other social services.  Sometimes when we find ourselves on the receiving end of these programs we can feel outcasted, ostracized, or even judged by those who are chosen to monitor us; even socially ousted from families or friend groups.  These government systems are set up to help those in need, but are they actually helping, or just deepening the divide between the haves and the have nots?
