Welcome to The [Inclusion] Conversation Podcast!

Today we hear from our host, Grace Yung Foster and our guest, Patrick Armstrong, Podcaster, Emcee, and Host of Conversation Piece.  In this episode we honor the intersection of our identities and experiences, and the privilege we carry as storytellers. 

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.
