In the final episode of the TA(Y)LK To Me Podcast Sherrie interviews Johna Rivers (Real to Reel Global Co-Founder & Lea Producer, CASA LA Board Member, Performing Artist & Lived Expert) and Soryoa Leonard (Student, Performing Artist & Lived Expert) about how to improve the child welfare system. They share personal stories of overcoming challenges like housing instability, lack of support, and stigma, emphasizing how mentorship, education, and faith played key roles in their success.
They advocate for better pay and training for social workers, consistent federal benefits, and more funding for organizations led by those with lived experience. Their message to professionals is to lead with heart and stay committed to making a difference, and to youth: speak up, know your worth, and don't give up.
