Interview Spotlight

At the Texas Campaign, we strive to include youth voice into every aspect
of our work. As part of this effort, we've begun interviewing young adults
with lived experience with regards to teen pregnancy or sex education. The
impact of their first-hand experience will help inform our future work
across the State.

This month, we interviewed Angel Jackson from Harris County Youth
Collective. After aging out of care at 18 she realized that she wanted to
do more than just help other foster youth. Her mission is to inform the
community on issues concerning dual status youth, and provide children with
resources that they are not aware of. Her belief is that change and
awareness is key to helping youth transition to being productive adults in
society.
