Media

“The news media understand that the only way that other youth and the public are going to understand about being in care is if it comes straight from us. That’s why they were so interested in interviewing us and writing articles.”
—Elizabeth

“Being interviewed by the media was an overwhelming experience. It’s hard to explain, but it was exciting; it felt really good!”
—Tony
