The Outcasts: A Journey of Believing, Becoming, and Belonging
My name is JC (Jean Claude) Brooks, and my mission is to give a voice to those who have ever felt like they didn’t fit under a certain category… those who might feel like they “don’t belong.” From growing up as a young Haitian boy to being adopted as a teenager into a Caucasian family in America, this is my story of becoming. I look forward to introducing you to people like me, people unlike me, and people who are still figuring it out. We will also explore how you can help children who are in need of a forever home and the challenges that they face. I hope to take you deep into my journey and into the hearts of others while helping you continue to find yourself. Consider The Outcasts to be your safe space— a space where we will believe, become, and belong— together.

Episode 2
As Early on as I can remember, I've had to make some big life-changing decisions. At a very young age, my mom passed and everything in my life had changed. In this episode, we will be traveling back to the earliest I can remember, from playing soccer daily with my friends in the neighborhood to making decisions that would affect where my life is currently. My resiliency is one of the biggest reasons I'm where I'm at in this life today. I always took every obstacle head-on.
I want to thank everyone that takes the time to listen to this podcast and for supporting me in all the ways that you do. May God bless you and yours.
