Cultural Ties is the first episode of our This Foster Care Life miniseries where we bring you multiple perspectives around the same topic.

Our fellow Emmy Tither personally relates to the idea of cultural ties as they are half-Peruvian and half-British, making them the perfect host for this episode.

In this episode, you will also hear from:

• Bruce LeClaire: A member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe who has been a youth advocate for more than 30 years and spent most of those years working within the foster care system and with native families. (Full Podcast Interview Coming August 17th)
  
  
• Brittany: A foster mom in a multi-racial Muslim family raising three kids in care who are of different ethnicities than her and her husband. Brittany has faced many challenges when it comes to foster care including culture clashes and getting extended family to accept her and her husband's kids in care.
  
  
• Kenisha E. Anthony: A former kid in care who kept falling through the cracks of the foster care system to the point that she felt like a burden to everyone and experienced suicidal thoughts. She later returned to the foster care system as a caseworker which opened her eyes up even more.
