Beyond Foster Care: "Navigating Life's Journey After the Foster Care System
%20(1).jpg)
Hello!
As an alumna of foster care, Alexandria knows firsthand about the good, inadequate, ugly, missed opportunities, mistrust, and distrust of the foster care system. Yet, Alexandria was fortunate enough to be mentored and loved by people who helped her find her purpose in life and contributed to her success. As a result, she founded Culture Creations Inc. to assist participants similar to her who have lived and shared foster care experiences.
Alexandria works diligently to change the narrative of negative statistics to positive outcomes for foster care alums. She aims to support and love her fellow foster care alums in taking control of their lives by assisting them with access, opportunities, support, love, and community support. Further, to obtain the resources they need and deserve to reach their highest potential and find their purpose.
With Culture Creations Inc., Alexandria aims to make a positive difference in the lives of foster care alums, youth, and young adults. By transforming narratives and outcomes, she and the organization seek to empower individuals with the knowledge, support, and opportunities necessary for effective, efficient, and sustainable change.
