What if foster care wasn’t about saving kids—but profiting from keeping them broken? In this eye-opening episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with Dr. Danisha Keating—a former foster youth who endured 33 relocations, abuse, and homelessness before 24, then became guardian to her five siblings, earned a PhD, and is now leading the charge to reform the system itself.

Danisha’s story is brutal and inspiring: from surviving trauma most wouldn’t escape, to becoming a professor, public speaker, and best-selling author of Taking My Voice Back and From Foster to PhD. She’s experienced the failures of CPS firsthand, and now she’s turning that pain into purpose—building trauma-informed practices, reshaping higher education for foster youth, and exposing the cracks that keep kids trapped in cycles of neglect.

This isn’t a feel-good fairytale—it’s a wake-up call. Danisha drops bombs on what’s broken in foster care, how she reclaimed her voice, and why grit and purpose—not pity—are the real blueprint for change.
