She entered foster care at two, moved from home to home, and emancipated herself at sixteen. Now she's rebuilding the system she survived. Beyond the Foster Label is for anyone who wants to understand what foster youth actually need — and why so much well-meaning help backfires. Stacy Johnson, TEDx speaker and Founder/CEO of Central Texas Table of Grace, has spent over a decade replacing disruption with stability for foster youth, kids aging out of care, and young parents with nowhere to land, and is now building a first-of-its-kind campus for foster youth. Every episode turns lived experience into something you can act on. Follow now — the kids aging out this year can't wait.
