Rescue The Fosters w/ Founder of "Untold Greatness, Inc." - Leslie

Leslie is a survivor, advocate, and trailblazer for systemic reform in child welfare. Her personal journey through the foster care system, where she endured severe abuse, neglect, and systemic failures, has fueled her mission to fight for transparency, accountability, and justice. As the founder of Untold Greatness Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families and exposing injustices within the child welfare system, Leslie works tirelessly to ensure no child endures the trauma she faced. Untold Greatness Inc. focuses on reuniting families, holding abusers accountable, and advocating for transparency in family court proceedings. Through her organization, Leslie has successfully helped families regain custody of their children and locate those lost in the system. Leslie is also the driving force behind the proposed Leslie Law, which seeks to mandate body cameras for DCF workers during child removals and interactions. This legislation aims to provide a transparent record, protect children and families, and ensure systemic accountability. Her advocacy extends beyond the nonprofit world into the courtroom, where Leslie has filed multiple lawsuits against DCF, foster care agencies, and individuals responsible for perpetuating abuse. Representing herself pro se, she has taken on powerful institutions to expose human trafficking, negligence, fraud, and constitutional rights violations. Her efforts have garnered the attention and support of lawmakers, state representatives, and Congress, all of whom recognize her resilience and commitment to systemic reform. Leslie’s story has been featured in publications such as Raised by These Wolves: Child Trafficking Within the Foster Care and Court Systems, where her experiences highlight the urgent need for change in child welfare systems. Her journey, both as a survivor and an advocate, is a testament to her unwavering dedication to creating a better future for children and families. Through Untold Greatness Inc. and her legislative and legal efforts, Leslie is turning her pain into purpose. In this podcast, she will share her powerful story and discuss the critical importance of implementing body cameras for DCF workers to ensure transparency, accountability, and justice for all families involved.
