About the Organizer:

Dre Nuzum is proud to host this event in collaboration with Austin Angels. Having navigated the foster care system himself, at a young age, before finding a family through adoption, Dre understands firsthand the challenges faced by children in the foster care system. This organization holds a special place in his heart, as he continues to mentor youth who are going through similar experiences. One issue Dre has observed is the insufficient mental support available to these children. Through this event, Dre aims to shed light on the crucial work of Austin Angels and provide resources so they are able to better support children in foster care.
