Mag Blog Radio is the consolidation of a bi-monthly magazine, daily blog, and bimonthly online radio show. Created and Managed by two former foster youth,
with two different foster care experiences, Mag Blog Radio's ultimate goal is to
eliminate the negative stigmas and labels that are attached to foster youth, as a
result of their time in foster care.
With this goal in mind, we will feature ...the creativity and the inspiring
personalities of both former foster youth and those that did not spend time in
foster care. This will be done through a variety of appealing topics presented in
Magazine, Blog, and Online Radio form (books, art, music, health, travel, etc.).
Consequently, a common bond will be shared between the foster youth
community and the general public, creating an environment where those affected
by foster care are seen as leaders, contributing members of their communities,
and loving/caring individuals.

About the Expressions Magazine
It has been proven that one of the most impactful forms of therapy is artistic
expression. Also, artistic expression has been shown to bring different cultures
together. We hope this digital magazine will unite individuals from different
backgrounds, foster care and non foster care-related, behind advocacy for
current and former foster youth, by celebrating the artistic expression of
everyone.
