On April 12, 2023, the US Department of Justice stated they didn't have enough evidence to move forward to arrest anyone involved in the murder of 25 year old Shanquella Robinson. Robinson's story went viral in 2022 after a video surfaced online of her being beaten by another woman. Since her death, her family has been relentless in obtaining justice for her. All for their hopes to be dashed. The family vows they won't give up. Join me as I dissect her case and uncover the treacherous betrayal and lies behind a false friendship.

AI is rapidly becoming a dominating presence and the results are downright scary. Covid 19 ushered in a wave of co-dependency on technology that wasn't as frightening as it is now. People are developing romantic relationships with bots--things that are incapable of feeling human emotion. Have we turned the corner of embracing concepts we've seen in movies like the Terminator, I Robot and Demolition Man? I truly hope this behavior doesn't continue. If it does, I don't see a happy ending for anyone who willingly chooses to embrace machines over living, breathing human beings.

Recently, LSU's Angel Reese was dragged for making the same hand gesture Iowa's Caitlin Clark previously made during a basketball game. Singer Carrie Underwood was slammed on social media for having 'over the top' legs. Its seems as if women are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Join me as I break down what true female empowerment (and oppression) truly is.

Ft Hood made national news when Vanessa Guillen, a soldier in the U.S. Army, went missing and was found dead in 2020. She was murdered by a male soldier who had been sexually harassing her. Recent news of another young female soldier has set rumors about the army base in Fort Hood, Texas, ablaze. Her mysterious death has raised old suspicions towards the U.S. Army's treatment of female soldiers at Ft Hood.
Ana Basaldua Ruiz had recently complained of sexual harassment to her parents. Tragically, she was found dead only days after speaking with her mother. Ana's death sparks an abundance of unanswered questions. In this episode, I will show you how female soldiers are treated around the world. Sadly, regardless of the country of origin, women often find the military to be a treacherous arena built on graphic sexualization and blatant disrespect.

BTS caused quite an uproar after meeting for their BTS Festa dinner in 2022. The group announced they planned to take a “break” and would reconvene sometime in the future. Media posted articles the group would be taking a hiatus (which was later disputed by the group’s company, Hybe). Members of the group also vehemently denied the group was disbanding.
However, in a recent press conference, Bang PD has reignited speculation over whether the most popular and successful Kpop male group out of South Korea is really on their way out. Bang PD shared the group has not resigned their contract with Hybe.
In addition, two members have recently been exposed to blatant and very public invasions of privacy that could have placed them in danger. Could this have caused BTS to rethink returning to the spotlight? Take a ride with me as we confront the issues BTS has faced as a group and as individuals trying to find their identity in a world that refuses to let them go…

The explosion of K-pop music across western airwaves has caused lots of swooning and very misleading, false ideologies concerning how some men actually behave towards foreign women in their homelands. Desirable aesthetics, exceptional talent and culture have no correlation to how men respond to women. In this episode, I share the true life stories of women from diverse cultures and backgrounds, living in foreign countries who weren't lucky enough to find princes. Instead, they found living, breathing nightmares. Join me in traveling across the globe to discover how a few very brave women found perseverance and fought to reclaim their lives---free from oppression and injustice.
