Episode 28: Jussi Sidhu - Life in Foster Care

Jussi lost her father at the tender age of six to suicide. Her mother struggled to take care of Jussi and her three siblings which meant that they had to be taken into foster care.  Being raised in foster care meant that she was separated from her siblings and rarely communicated with her mother.  In this episode, we talk about the reality of being taken into care and how this experience shaped her life.  Jussi works to bring light to more of these conversations and help many other young and vulnerable children in our community. You can follow her on Instagram @jksidhu_92
