Empowered to Connect:
Ramya Gruneisen and her dear friends the Hamms (who are ETC Parent Trainers in St. Louis, MO.) join us to talk about growing up in a white family as a person of color, the work needed to be done as white parents to create a safe environment in a transracial home and so much more.
Thriving Adoptees - Healing, Inspiration & Empowerment for Adoptees:
For adopted individuals to be empowered to advocate for their healthcare needs, medical providers must know how to interact in an adoption identity affirming manner and create an environment where patients feel safe discussing their biological history. This episode brings together pediatrician Elaine and 2 transracial adoptees Ramya and Julia to discuss advocating for our own health.
The Adoption Roadmap Podcast:
I had the privilege of sitting down with Rebecca on The Adoption Roadmap Podcast, where I opened up about the layered journey of being an international transracial adoptee. We dove deep into the coexistence of joy and grief in adoption, the impact of unknown histories, and how vital it is for adoptive parents to approach adoption with humility and a willingness to learn. I shared my path from adoptee to advocate and emphasized the transformative role that therapy, support, and community have played in my life. My hope is that by sharing these experiences, I can inspire open, responsible, and compassionate conversations around adoption. Listen now on all major platforms!
