About this Podcast:

Welcome to The Unheard Forum, a podcast where I will investigate and share the voices of the marginalized. Every episode serves a different purpose, whether it's providing background information, offering a new perspective, or sharing a personal story. However, each contributes to the empowerment of disenfranchised voices and your understanding of a group's challenges. This podcast dives into the special education system, immigrant stories and elderly care, just to name a few. Through candid interviews and conversations, tune in to learn about problems you didn’t even know existed.
