Curly Me! is a nonprofit that’s a resource for Utah families with children of color – specifically black girls between the ages of 5-14 years of age. In this episode, we hear more about “Change the World with Her” and other upcoming events.
In 2021, Black children represented 14% of the total child population but 22% of all kids in foster care. By comparison: White kids represent 49% of the nation’s child population and only 43% of its foster care population. Although the number of Black children in care has been on the decline for the past two decades, the need for culturally sensitive foster homes remains critical.
