In this episode, we have a powerful conversation with author and advocate David Ambroz about his new memoir, 'A Place Called Home,' and his advocacy around poverty and the child welfare system. David shares his personal journey from homelessness in New York City to becoming a foster father and advocate in Los Angeles, emphasizing the transformational power of storytelling in driving social change. We discuss systemic issues like child poverty, the role of community and government in supporting those in need, and practical solutions to end homelessness among foster youth.
