A new podcast series beginning Wednesday, Feb. 23 will explore the unique issues of Black girls who experience foster care in America.
Diaries of A Black Girl in Foster Care (which uses @BlkGrlDiariesFC on social media platforms) will begin with three episodes that address cultural issues, racial disparities and stereotypes that organizers argue have contributed to poor outcomes for Black girls in America’s various foster care systems.
“Everybody can get something out of this, not just Black girls but the community that’s supposed to love them and protect them,” said Tashia Roberson-Wing, a graduate student at Ohio State University that developed the idea for the series.
For Black girls listening to the series, she said, “this is going to be a place where you feel valued and affirmed. You’re definitely going to be seen.”
