I am a child of God. I am the wife of an amazing man, Byron Walker, and together, we have three beautiful daughters: Kesha, Bethany, and Olivia. I am an avid dog lover and I adore our brindle Bullmastiff, Baine. I am the youngest daughter of LeRoy and Anna Titus, and the bratty little sister of Shelley Price and Sherre Titus. I am an occasional troublemaker who believes that most of the world's problems can be solved with dinner and good, honest conversation. I am a co-host of the popular podcast, THE TRIAD, the host of a soon-to-be-released television show for TLC and Discovery+, and a former researcher for TLC's beloved show, Long Lost Family. I am a mentor, teacher, encourager, and inspiration to countless people. I am the Chief Executive Officer for GRAITH Foundation, the co-owner of Circle Square Services, and the owner of Manner Of Fact. I am a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and the Links, Inc. (CA-OC). I attended Fisk University, the State University of New York (SUNY-Empire State), California State Dominguez Hills University, and Trinity Law School. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, a Master of Science in Behavioral Science, and a Juris Doctorate. I am a philanthropist, and a gym rat, and I never take "No" for an answer. I am not a motivational speaker, rather, I am a light, a magnifying glass, and a mirror to those who want to take their lives or business to the next miraculous level. I am a dream maker and an idea creator. I am relentless in my pursuit of excellence and purpose, and I am here to help others become their best selves. I am Shelbi Walker.

The Triad

On the most basic level, the “adoption triad” refers to the three parties directly involved in adoption: birth parents, adoptive parents, and adoptees. Some widen the meaning of the triad to include extended family, supporters, and the community-at-large. The Triad hosts are direct members of the triad, and their discussions tackle heavy subjects that go straight to the heart of adoption. We acknowledge, honor, and listen and offer information to our listening audience so that they can know and grow through their own journey.

Support Us

Members of the triad administer this podcast voluntarily. Our goal is to forge an opportunity for learning and empathy within adoption. If we can have an impact on the framework of adoption through the sharing of individual stories, then we have accomplished our mission.

Your partnership will allow us to continue sharing and concentrate on the obstacles that all members of the triad face.
