Exposing The Foster Care System (with Myra Vanry, Survivor)

My guest today will not only motivate and inspire you, but she is also here as a survivor, on a mission, to expose the dark and disturbing cracks in our foster care system, the cultic dangers of the Independent Fundamental Baptist Church, and then wrapping it up with such a powerful and inspiring message for abuse victims and survivors.

Myra Vanry grew up in the foster care system from the age of 3 years old. Myra endured years of racism, mental and sexual abuse. At the age of 8, Myra and her sister were adopted into a cult where she endured even more abuse at the hands of her pastor father. At the age of 17, she was put into another foster family that continued the abuse leaving Myra feeling like there was no point in living. Fast forward to today, Myra is happily married and living the dream she has envisioned for herself. She is currently in pharmacy school, and devotes her spare time telling her story and speaking out for survivors of abuse. Listen to the whole story of how Myra went from being in a broken system, years of abuse, to now living the life she has always dreamed. I want to personally thank Myra for sharing her story. I hope this inspires and opens up a lot of people's eyes.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses mental and physical abuse towards minors, listener discretion is advised.
