From Foster Care to PhD š | Dr. Danisha Keating on Healing, Resilience & Taking Her Voice Back
Description
Welcome to this weekās episode of Fostering Change, hosted by Rob Scheer. š
Todayās guest is Dr. Danisha Keatingāauthor, speaker, and former foster youth whose journey from heartbreak to healing is nothing short of extraordinary. At just 16, CPS workers separated her from her eight siblings and handed her a trash bag with five minutes to pack her life. By 24, she became the guardian of her five younger siblings, choosing resilience and purpose over despair.
Dr. Keating is the bestselling author of Taking My Voice Back: Healing What Broke Me and From Foster to PhD. In this powerful conversation, she and Rob dive into:
āØ How to heal from trauma, shame, and blame
āØ The importance of protecting your story while still speaking your truth
āØ The systemic barriers youth in foster care faceāincluding files that hold pieces of their own lives
āØ Why education became her lifeline and how she stepped boldly into her future
Her story is proof that no matter what youāve lived through, you have the power to write the next chapter. As Dr. Keating reminds us: āWhen youāre in foster care, the courts and the files decide your story ā not you. Thatās why I had to learn how to take my voice back.ā
