Best Interest of Who? The State or the Child?

On this episode of Appointed we’re talking about the child welfare system and how systemic discrimination plays a key role in determining who ends up in care. We speak with Natasha Reimer, the founder of the peer support group Foster Up and host of her own podcast, titled "The Disappearance of Natasha Lynn Starr" and Dunia Nur from the African Canadian Civic Engagement Council about the experiences of those who have lived in care and how the state falls short of advocating for youth's best interests.
