The Resilient Imprint Podcast
The Resilient Imprint Podcast is inspired by my personal story of resilience. Some of my experiences are surviving the foster care system, unimaginable betrayal and abuse by adults entrusted with my care, even juvenile incarceration for serious crimes I didn’t commit. My childhood was the epitome of trauma, rejection and at times deep sorrow, but my fighting spirit was fueled by the words of those who poured into me during my darkest times. When reflecting on my wellness journey, I realized not everyone who faces hardship receives words of encouragement, or an emotional applause to keep focused on the finish line. The purpose of this platform is to share bite-sized pieces of my experiences, and how choosing to see the silver lining cracking through the tough times empowers you to defy the odds. Let’s imprint resiliency into our lives together, and I hope a couple of laughs, one episode at a time. And if you haven’t been told just know - you do matter, you are worthy, and you do belong!

It's officially summer! This is a season of nostalgia and I tell you reminiscing of summer camp is so fun! This episode gives you an insight of how an organization like Royal Family Kids Camp offered by non-profit For The Children can be a beacon of light shinning through the brokenness a foster child may be experiencing, as well as the positive long-term affects. I hope you feel inspired to give back to your community or to serve someone walking in shoes you once wore.
Have you experienced RFKC? I'd love to hear about it on the gram - @theresilientimprint

Since May is Foster Care Awareness month, I'm kicking off the podcast with an episode briefly detailing the day Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) removed me from my biological family's custody. I hope sharing this story provides a useful insight of how most children are impacted during the removal process and serves as a friendly reminder to anyone with similar experiences that they are not alone.
