From Foster Care To Becoming A Husband, Father, Author And Motivational Speaker: A Chat With Jackie Fowler Lewis
Manage episode 347128520 series 3006694
Jackie Fowler-Lewis helps at-risk youth break the cycle that they come from by helping them find their self-worth and develop an understanding that though life has dealt them a bad hand, they can live life to the fullest. Jackie was in the foster care system from the age of 6 until the age of 16 when he was adopted. His foster mother was told that he would either end up in jail or dead. Both he and his foster mother believed otherwise and that’s what they set out to do. He firmly believes that even when life is rough, you are obligated to pick up the pieces of what you have and build upon that. Fast forward to today, Jackie has 4 books to his name, a family whom he is devoted to (3 kids!) and has raised over $27,000 for charity. His family is in the process of moving to Texas and he still speaks to his foster mum every day.
On the podcast we chatted about:
-Jackie's story of growing up in the foster care system from the age of 6 to 16.
-His hope for the foster care system.
-How he was able to pick up his life and move on after spending so much time in foster care.
-How Jackie and his wife navigate marriage and parenthood.
And SO much more.
