Welcome back to the Resilient Voices & Beyond Podcast for Season Three, Episode Nine, featuring the remarkable returning guest, Isabel Rodriguez! 🎙️

Isabel is not just a graduate of the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, she's a powerhouse of advocacy and change. Her journey since her last appearance on our podcast is nothing short of awe-inspiring. 🌟

Isabel is the author of "What If Our Letters Were Right," a Congressional Policy Report on Sibling Separation, a testament to her dedication to improving the lives of children in foster care. 📚

But what makes this episode particularly special is that just three days ago, Isabel aged out of foster care. Her perspective as a former foster youth intern with the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute and an intern with the United States Senate gives her insights that are both unique and invaluable. 🏛️

Isabel's commitment to creating a better future for youth in care is exemplified through her authorship of co-legislation in the Senate aimed at protecting sibling relationships, a fundamental aspect of stability and support for many in the foster care system. 📜

Currently, Isabel is pursuing her Masters in Public Administration, a testament to her dedication to public service and her unwavering advocacy. 🎓

In this episode, titled "The true character of society is revealed in how it treats its children," quoting the wisdom of Nelson Mandela, we delve into Isabel's journey, her passionate advocacy for sibling relationships, and her unique insights into the foster care system. 🌍

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that unveils the challenges and opportunities within the child welfare system, and explores the profound impact of supporting sibling connections. Isabel's story is a testament to resilience, determination, and the enduring power of advocating for change. 🎧 #ResilientVoicesAndBeyondPodcast #FosterCareAdvocacy #SiblingRelationships #YouthInCare #AdvocacyJourney #IsabelRodriguez
