Dear Minority Leaders,
Today we are continuing our expansion of discussion topics and welcoming my new friend, and Delta Sigma Theta sorority sister, Rachel Lauren. Our conversation today focuses on Rachel’s work at the intersection of racial equity, criminal justice reform, climate advocacy, and most especially foster care and adoption. By profession Rachel is the Chief People Officer at Dream.Org and also a founding partner and Chief Programming Officer for Diversified, a boutique DEI consulting firm. Through her popular social platforms and various contributor positions, Rachel speaks out against racial injustice and advocates for the lives of all Black people. With focus on justice innovation and the importance of getting black and brown talent trained and integrated into the technology workspace, Rachel has been a leading voice and advocate for equality and representation.We also dive into the adoption and foster case systems with Rachel being a proud adoptive mom of 3. She is no stranger to foster care and adoption, and more specifically how this industry affects Black and Brown children and families. Rachel advocates to protect and support the needs of children in the foster care system. She also shares her stories and advice for new foster parents.I ask Rachel her thoughts on why she feels that so many children in the foster care system age out and if there is a way to address this issue on the policy level and you won’t want to miss the impactful insights Rachel shares on the matter.
