We’re back!
Today we’ll be talking about the foster care and adoption system in Oklahoma - it’s not a sexy subject - but it’s an important one. My guest is an employee with the Oklahoma Dept of Human Services' Child Welfare division working in Foster Care and Adoption Recruitment, Christina Cabbiness-Lloyd.And I’ll be sharing with you the crazy month I’ve had and why we haven’t had any new episodes since early November.

Today we are going to be Talking about the next few weeks in American history and how we can use our voices to help our families, friends, and neighbors move past this. We’ll be talking to Walela Knight, the Tulsa coordinator for Rock the Native Vote and she is on the board of directors for Matriarch about Native discrimination, our role in getting involved, and why it’s so important and so much bigger of a problem than you think it is to wear that horribly racist native american costume.

But first - if you’re listening to this the day it comes out - then you know it’s election day… and I gotta be honest, I’ve been fretting about this day for months - and I’m sure you have too… so let’s talk about the days and weeks to come.
