Missing POC Stories Matter

By: Kayla Gould

When I was going through ARCC’s portfolio of content whether it was podcasts, DeepDive’s, blogs, social media posts, etc. I found that I was able to take something away from the content that I didn’t know before. 

For instance, the DeepDive talk show on the ARCC YouTube Channel had an episode from November 14th of 2023 titled “The Untold Stories of Missing POC.” In this episode, Jeremiah and Adonai spoke about some shocking facts I didn’t know before listening to the DeepDive talk show. For instance, they stated that “according to the Black and Missing Foundation, 9 out of ten children of color are reported as runaways, that means only one out of all 10 are reported and people are alerted about.”

For me, this part was something I will never forget and with ARCC’s mission and all of us who are lucky enough to be a part of this wonderful coalition hopefully, we are able to create change not only for missing children of color but for all missing POC.
