This week on Miss Understood with Rachel Uchitel, we sit down with one of the most inspiring people you’ll ever meet — Peter Mutabazi, a man who went from surviving the streets of Uganda to becoming one of America’s leading voices in foster care and adoption.
Abandoned as a child and left to fend for himself, Peter’s life could have ended before it began. Instead, he chose to rewrite his story — building a life dedicated to giving kids the love and stability he never had. Today, as a foster dad, advocate, and motivational speaker, Peter has opened his home and heart to countless children, proving that one person’s compassion can change everything.
In this powerful conversation, Peter and Rachel explore:
- What it’s really like growing up with nothing — and finding purpose through pain
- How he built a home for children who’ve lost theirs
- Why the foster care system needs more heroes, not perfection
- What true healing looks like when love replaces fear
🎧 Tune in for an episode that reminds us what resilience, kindness, and second chances can do — and why Peter Mutabazi’s story is one the world needs right now.
