We believe deeply in racial equality and listening to and learning from black voices who are illuminating the way for justice and understanding. That’s why we’re using our platform to amplify these voices…
We are so excited to share our interview with former foster youth, and adoption and foster care advocate, Tori Petersen. She is amazing, and is actively changing the story of adoption and foster care in the United States. She spends her time advocating, on a national level, for better services for children in foster care.
At Honestly Adoption we recognize that Black voices have always been here. They have been the voice of parenting, working, hurting, rejoicing, educating, worshiping…living. They are the voices of transracial adoptees, foster parents, adoptive parents and professionals. For the next several weeks we are re-airing some of our favorite episodes from Black thought leaders.
Recently, Mike and Kristin sat down with Keia Jones-Baldwin from Raising Cultures to talk about raising a multiracial family, the ups and downs of parenting, her brand new podcast, and the ever so fun experience of dealing with internet trolls, and how to hit personal attacks online head on. You’re going to love this interview. Keia is a rockstar and has a brilliant perspective.

This week, we are pleased to share an episode we did with Tori DiMartile from Wreckage & Wonder.
