Today on a very special back to school episode of Moving Forward, Giving Back, San Diego Executive Director Alicia Quinn Kitagawa speaks with Afira DeVries, the President and CEO of the Monarch School Project, which has been dedicated to providing a sense of belonging for thousands of unhoused youth and their families in San Diego since 1987.
The episode is an open, fascinating and informative conversation that touches on a number of important topics including the reemergence of the community school model, the ramifications of the unhoused situation in America today and how restorative and trauma informed thinking and techniques can positively impact school age children. This is a dynamic and inspirational conversation that you need to listen to as soon as possible.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
