The Voice: Foster Care, Adoption and Beyond
Episode 6 | Staying Positive: Smell the sopa de calabaza and corn tortilla
This episode invites listeners to foster gratitude and positive energy despite prevailing life challenges. As a former homeless youth, I tried to see the glass half full, which kept me going towards my master plan of going to college despite my adversity. This episode draws from tender moments during my homeless adventures to illustrate this point.
