My Schedule
FILLED 2025
FILLED 2025 is more than just a retreat—it’s a movement for foster parents, advocates, and change-makers who are committed to transforming the foster care system. This event is a space where powerful stories are shared, deep connections are formed, and real change is inspired. As a speaker, I am passionate about using my voice to break down misconceptions, encourage resilience, and spark meaningful conversations that lead to action. I’d love to connect with others who are amplifying foster care awareness through their podcast or speaking platforms—because together, we can create a future where every child feels seen, supported, and truly at home. Let’s collaborate and make an impact beyond just one event! If you’re looking for a guest speaker or a shared platform for this mission, let’s talk!
An Evening for Foster Parents
I’m excited to attend An Evening for Foster Parents on Friday, February 7, 2025, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM at Lavish Coffee—a night dedicated to connection, encouragement, and shared experiences. Lydia and Joel Duke, foster parents for over a decade, will be sharing their journey, offering insight into both the joys and challenges of fostering. As someone deeply passionate about advocacy and change within the foster care system, I’m looking forward to connecting with other foster families and those considering this journey. Conversations like these are where real change begins, and I’d love to collaborate with others who are sharing stories, raising awareness, and making an impact. If you’re hosting a podcast, event, or platform focused on foster care, let’s connect! Together, we can amplify voices, inspire action, and create a stronger support system for foster families everywhere.
Families Rising Adoption and Foster Care Conference
Joel and I are thrilled to be attending the Families Rising Adoption and Foster Care Conference—a powerful gathering dedicated to equipping, encouraging, and connecting those involved in foster care and adoption. This conference is an opportunity to learn from experts, engage in meaningful conversations, and be surrounded by a community that shares our passion for making a difference in the lives of vulnerable children. We’re especially looking forward to discussing ways to improve advocacy, strengthen support systems, and inspire real change within the foster care system. If you're attending, I’d love to connect! Whether you're a foster parent, advocate, or someone sharing these important stories through a podcast or event, let’s collaborate and keep this conversation going beyond the conference. Together, we can amplify our impact and create a future where every child feels safe, loved, and truly at home.
