Introducing: The Mighty Writers Podcast with Maureen Boland

Thirty-year-old Akeiba Emerson shares her journey from foster care to adoption. Like too many children, Akeiba experienced abuse and neglect as she moved through 22 different foster care placements before she was old enough to read. But, thanks to a chance encounter with Judy Emerson, a remarkable single mother who was looking to grow her family, Akeiba went on to enjoy the best of what a good family life has to offer. Their voices and spirits are full of warmth and love, and their story speaks to the power of healing that happens when open hearts manage to find each other.
