Description

In Adoptees Crossing Lines, I expose the lies and harm of the adoption industry and family policing system. As a Black same-race adoptee reclaiming my story, I challenge systems that profit from family separation. This podcast is truth-telling, healing, and anger intertwined. If you're ready for raw, unfiltered conversations about adoptee trauma and dismantling harmful systems, join me on this journey of reclamation.
