This episode of Speaking for Kids honors Kinship Care Awareness Month with guest BeAnka Masefiade, Executive Director of Osofomaame, a Black-founded and led organization addressing systemic disparities facing Black youth in Michigan’s child welfare system. Black children make up 16% of Michigan children, but are overrepresented in the child welfare population, making up 29% of children in foster care. This conversation highlights why kinship care matters, the challenges caregivers face, and the urgent need for culturally competent support. Listeners will hear how Osofomaame is working to transform the system, uplift kinship families, and ensure every child can grow up in a safe, connected, and supportive environment.
