The [Inclusion] Conversation, Christmas Special Episode!
Description
Welcome to The [Inclusion] Conversation Podcast!
We will be taking a break from releasing episodes until we are all back from the Holiday break. Episode 9 will drop in January of 2025. We hope you enjoy this final episode of 2024 with 4 Korean, transracial, and transnational Adoptees, Christine Sachs, Anna Baeten, Le Anne Harper, and our host, Grace Yung Foster.
This podcast dives into the world of work, careers, and life for Adoptees, Foster Care Alumni, our allies, parents, child welfare professionals, policy experts, and all within the Adoptee and Foster's orbit.
This episode features 4 Korean Adoptees and explores the complexities, and the wonders, of Christmas and the holidays for Adoptees and Fosters. We laugh, we cry, and we share what the messiness of navigating this season is like, but also the joy. We end the show with “Rapid Fire” questions which brings levity and also some fun facts about our guests. This is a heartwarming episode between 4 friends who found each other because of their Adoptee, identity, and Asian American journeys.
