Manage episode 366354220 series 2796984
Today we have author, activist, podcaster, and educative content creator Melissa Guida Richards; who was also a guest on episode 6 ,and a panelist on my 2020 panel series. A lot has happened since we last chatted a few years ago; Melissa's second book launched and her tik tok / IG platforms now have a huge following of people who want to learn more.
Topics today include:
- The ramification of Separating siblings
- Her relationship with her adoptive mother, and what it was like to be on the Cameron Hall show with her adoptive mother.
- What it means to filter content through an anti-racist lens
- Her work in the adoption community and her strategy to make lasting and systemic change.
- The harm of Social media platforms that advertise children and the dangers of pre-birth matching
- Re-homing children on the internet (AKA human trafficking)
- We also talk about birth parents in crisis and the laws around their rights.
- She gives advice on how to protect your children’s story when you’re a parental content creator. How to not over-share
- And then we finish with tips on how to not minimize the adoptee experience
