About this listen

Welcome to the debut episode of Soaring High with So Kids SOAR! Hosted by Michael Simmons and Glenda Fu Smith, this podcast highlights the inspiring stories of participants, graduates, parents, and partners of the So Kids SOAR (formerly Dreams for Kids) community.

In this episode, Glenda, Executive Director of So Kids SOAR, shares the mission of this incredible nonprofit—empowering youth with physical and developmental disabilities through adaptive sports, vocational training, and community-building programs.

Our special guest, Kierra Johnson, a 2022 graduate of the Your Path to Success vocational program, reflects on her journey from participant to full-time staff member at So Kids SOAR. She opens up about overcoming challenges, the impact of mentorship, and the confidence-building experiences that shaped her path. Plus, we introduce a fun segment highlighting unique talents, featuring a game of P.I.G. with a charitable twist!
