15 | Amanda Carpenter – My Experience As a Foster Mom: The “White Savior Complex” & Social Media

 

If you have ever wondered what it’s like to be a foster parent, look no further! My friend, Amanda Carpenter, is talking about the good, the bad, the stigmas, the struggles and everything in between.

She touches on the importance of sharing real life on social media and why “impressing is exhausting”. Lindsey and Amanda discuss the ‘white savior complex’ and how it made its way into – and out of – Amanda’s home and heart.
