Core Beliefs & Compelling Message

Many alumni of the foster care system have written about and inspired readers worldwide with stories of overcoming insurmountable odds.

As an alumnus of the foster care system, I am the first to admit I lived the better part of my life encased in survivor’s guilt, shame, and silence, the unintended consequences that cropped up as I made my way through the maze of a well-intended, yet trauma-inducing system.

But I never abandoned the search for words to give substance and meaning to my experience.

My search ended when I created Flyte Time Publications, a working canvas and creative space designed to share life-affirming beliefs and a compelling message about living a life of significance with trauma survivors, victims of abuse, and readers with lived experience in foster care.

I share what I share because at our core, even across the spectrum of age, ethnicity, orientation, and generation, we are more alike than different.
