The future Dr. Rikell Ford joins us on this episode to discuss how the educational system, unconscious bias, and stereotypes influence how young girls (specifically black girls) in care shape perception of themselves. Rikell shares her experiences as not only a foster parent, professional in child welfare, and researcher. She consistently urges young girls to relentlessly pursue their dreams while she does just the same! Follow Rikell's nonprofit organization Kindred C.U.L.T.U.R.E , to see more of the great work she is doing to empower individuals in her community
