TW: sexual assault, child abuse, child sex trafficking.
I have known Nikki for a few years, my husband was a close friend of her husband. Through the years that I've known Nikki, she has unintentionally helped me learn about my biases through digestible social media content and deep conversations. Nikki was also a voice of reason after my husband died. In blunt but kind words, Nikki told me that the coping mechanisms I was using to deal with the death of Justin were unhealthy and unsustainable. She helped pull me out of the deep end in one of the hardest parts of my life. I have a deep appreciation of Nikki as a person and in this episode, she touches on so many important issues. I'm so lucky to know Nikki. I can't wait for you all to get to know her a little bit as well.
