WHY THIS STORY
NEEDS TO BE TOLD

This documentary was created to showcase the realities of Black foster care, celebrate the families living it, and educate the UK fostering system on the urgent need for culturally responsive care.

  • The identity joureys of children in care
  • The experiences of Black footer caners
  • The importance of cultural understanding
  • The gaps within current systems

Belonging is not a luxury - it is essential to a child's wellbeing.

Anji and Andrew bring over 25 years of fostering experience
Having supported 16 children alongside raising their own family, including two daughters and an adopted son.

Anji plays a leading role in building support systems for carers, helping others feel less alone in what can be a challenging yet deeply rewarding role. Together, they champion the idea that fostering is not done in isolation — it takes a village.
