In this episode, Dr. Barbara Lee talks with Shari Monsma (President) and Gail Moilliet (Vice President) of Fairness for Children Raised by Relatives - a 100% volunteer-run non-profit society made up of kinship caregivers who advocate for equitable rights and support for the children in their care. They discuss the ongoing process of collaboration, developing research evidence to advocate for equitable kinship care support, and how this work has generated new opportunities and ideas. With openness and gentleness, Shari and Gail mentored and supported Master of Social Work (MSW) students while learning alongside them, fostering intergenerational connections and meaningful conversations. They have continued expanding their advocacy through research, digital storytelling, and public engagement. This episode is a celebration of learning by doing, embracing new opportunities, and finding joy in the process of research and advocacy.
