the obstacles. Guest and Author Leah Daniel, an alumna of foster care, shares firsthand
conversations about the good, bad, ugly, missed opportunities, the mistrust, and the distrust of
the foster care system. She states, “I have learned that life is what we make of it and eventually
it is up to us as individuals to turn a negative situation into a positive outcome.”
Audre Lorde said it best…” If not me, then who? If not now, then when?” This is our time to
change the narrative and outcomes for those who are still navigating the foster care system,
unsuccessfully. There are MANY of us who possess the knowledge, power, lived, and shared
experiences to make effective, efficient, and real change obtainable, states Leah Daniel.

adults, and alumni. Let’s make the difference that we wanted others to make for us.
