In our debut episode, we follow three extraordinary journeys of resilience as former foster youth navigate life after aging out at 18. Ella, Mark, and Heather share how they transformed systemic challenges into personal triumph—from drafting a Foster Youth Bill of Rights to building a career at Microsoft. We explore the stark realities many face: 1 in 4 becoming incarcerated, 1 in 5 immediately homeless, and half struggling to find employment. Community leaders Lance Villio and Tom Baldwin reveal innovative approaches to support these transitions.
