Virginia Licensing Specialist Talks About Foster Care on Talk Local To Me Podcast

StepStone Licensing Specialist Lamona West of Christiansburg, Virginia, joined the Talk Local to Me podcast for their May 7 episode to discuss StepStone’s work in Virginia and the importance of foster care.

From the podcast site:

In this episode, a bunch of great voices come together to chat about local events, personal experiences, and insights from their work. It kicks off with some announcements—including the “First Annual Fur Baby Fundraiser” and other happenings from the Central Virginia Business Coalition. Mike and Magen dive into why networking and community support really matter. Then Joshua E. Music shares how he got into ambient music, and Lamona talks about building a strong, supportive community. There’s also a segment on the ups and downs of fostering and where to find help. The episode wraps up with some laughs and a reminder to stay involved with local efforts.
