Video Project to Support Teen Moms in Foster Care


OHIO YAB Ambassador Kelsie Brown has dedicated her utmost efforts towards the creation of a video about Teen Moms in Foster Care, and her son Braydon has also been a valuable - and patient - part of the process. 

Skateworld of Vandalia was the one place where Kelsie felt safe as a child. The owners of the rink allowed free use of their venue for filming this project, and even opened up early in the day so we had the entire rink to ourselves.

It was wonderful to have Kelsie’s former foster mom as part of the video, during the portion filmed at a local park that the three of them used to visit. Mrs. Andrea specializes in fostering teen moms, and when Kelsie was entrusted to her as a scared 16-year-old, Mrs. Andrea both reassured and empowered her. In Kelsie's words, "She supported me in being responsible as a mother, without making me feel alone."
