The Racial Equity Collaborative brings people together to actively eliminate racial disparities in child welfare. This roundtable is a snapshot of lawmakers, the legal community, educators, and administrators clearly understanding the problem of Black and Brown children being overly involved in the child welfare system and connecting on ways to answer the question "from where I sit, how can I impact racial equity?"

We are joined by Alexandria Ware, co-founder and co-host of Diaries of a Black Girl in Foster Care podcast, CEO of Culture Creations Inc., and Arthur Gochman Child and Family Advocacy Fellow for Children's Rights.
