At 16 years old, Stacy Johnson emancipated herself from foster care. No Family. No safety net. No one waiting. Just herself and everything she’d survived across 9 homes since the age of 2. She was one of the thousands of kids who age out of the system every year not into a family — but into a trash bag of belongings and a birthday that marks the end of any support at all. She could have become a statistic. Instead she built a table — literally and figuratively — and she’s changing what happens to kids the system was never designed to catch. This episode will break your heart and then put it back together stronger.
