Most importantly, I am a mother, wife, daughter, friend, sister, auntie, niece, cousin, and friend. I also navigate this world as a social worker, advocate, and academic. I acknowledge that some of my earliest work in and with child welfare/family policing caused harm to black, brown, and Indigenous children, parents and families, as well as those who are economically poor. I am dedicated to repairing these harms and changing the child welfare/family policing system by partnering with others to upend the administrative and legal structures that oppress children and families; organize international convenings and other educational opportunities that lift radical and common-sense solutions; and support truth-telling processes in communities that recognize that without truth, change remains elusive. Currently, my academic home at the Kempe Center at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus affords me the opportunity to pursue social, economic, and racial justice in child welfare.
