I’ve teamed up with @FriendsNational to celebrate National Foster Care and Mental Health Awareness Month! I loved meeting 100+ youth this week in programs across the country. The children, their stories, and their resiliency are inspiring! #PutChildrenFirst #MentalHealthMatters

According to the @AECFNews Black children were 13.71% of the population, yet 22.75% of children in foster care were Black. We must work collaboratively with those with lived experiences to make systemic changes to prevent the over-representation & disparate outcomes. #FFTAPPI

Every child who experiences foster care deserves to have a caring adult in their life, and @FriendsNational can help provide that. My hope is that all children will see that they, too, can pursue their hopes and dreams. #FosterYourFuture 🤍
