  • Summary

  • In this episode Sonia and Classie continue their conversation with Shereen White, Director of Advocacy at Children's Rights and Kelis Houston, Executive Director of Village Arms who are pushing for change in the child welfare system. Kalis shares a behind-the-scenes look at the years of advocacy, legislative challenges, and community resilience that culminated in the ⁠Minnesota African American Family Preservation and Child Welfare Disproportionality Act. ⁠This landmark legislation aims to protect Black families from systemic bias in child welfare, setting a higher standard of "active efforts" over "reasonable efforts" for caseworkers.

    Join us as we unpack the hard-won victories, the sacrifices made, and the ongoing fight to dismantle systemic racism within child welfare.
