Jayne Amelia speaks with former foster youth Ryan Moses. Ryan went into foster care when he was a small child and had 12 placements in 8 different school districts. At 10 he advocated for himself, called the Monterey CASA office and got himself a CASA who changed his life. But he still had to overcome massive challenges including substance abuse that almost took his life; he continues to advocate for himself, and now he does so for other foster youth as well. He’s the Founder and CEO of DoGud Clothing, a streetwear clothing brand that gives back to foster children. “We do this by giving back 10% of the proceeds to foster children through partnering with the organizations that had a huge impact on my life.”
