In This Episode…

  • Tomeka's non-traditional path to filmmaking 

  • Foster care and human trafficking

  • Moving past fear to shoot for your dreams

  • Dreams (in her sleep) that foreshadowed her purpose

Key Points

Foster children have a low chance of adoption after they reach the age of 12.  Some states have raised the age of maturity from 18 to 21 before they age out of the foster care system.  


What You Can Do

You may not always know what the next step is, but don't let fear keep you from your dreams. 

Watch Tomeka's film Aged Out and start the conversation.
