WHEN
THEY
WERE YOUNG

Podcast
What happens when the adoptee is centered as the hero in their own story? These are whole-hearted conversations with adoptees and adoption experts who are at the forefront of alchemizing adoption trauma into positive impact for you and the rest of the world. Each episode is designed to make you feel empowered, informed and fortified with a variety of methods, healing modalities and expert advice.

This is for the adoptee, parents, and the adoption-curious. 

Hosted by Lanise Antoine Shelley who is an intercountry adoptee from Haiti. She is an actress, director and visual artist based in Chicago. Follow me on TikTok, IG and Insight timer where I have meditations that will center and empower you.

“I have a duty to speak the truth as I see it and share not just my triumphs, not just the things that felt good, but the pain, the intense, often unmitigated pain. It is important to share how I know survival is survival and not just a walk through the rain.”

- Audre Lorde
