    From Foster Care to Doctorates, Dr. Kym Gee

    To close out Foster Care Awareness Month (It was May), host Tanya sits down with Dr. Kym Louise Gee, a Harlem-born foster care alumna, addiction survivor, mother, and Doctor of Philosophy in Human Services, specializing in Mental Health Administration. Only 7–10% of former foster youth ever graduate from college. Dr. Kym did it in 18 years of relentless sacrifice and planning to help others do the same. They talk: aging out, getting sober, college after 50, her groundbreaking research on college mental health, and the children's book and senior wellness book she's bringing into the world. This is a foster hero's story, and she was her own hero first. (*Fosters, NO ONE can save you but YOU!!! Yes, we all need support and a plan, but it's the work YOU put in that creates success, and success is not just surviving, but thriving in YOUR calling, gifts, and talents. 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every week 📌 Share this episode with someone who needs to hear itSubscribe to our IG/Youtube: ‪@onthetownwithtanya‬ *This show is dedicated to my Cousin Pat H. & baby brother "Coop," who passed away June 10th, 2009.
