Injustice Files on Clubhouse Featuring Interview with Kwame Shakur and Royal Amos

Injustice Files on Clubhouse Featuring Interview with Kwame Shakur and Royal Amos

In this episode, we feature a Replay from the Clubhouse app in the True Crime Talks Club and the Injustice Files Room featuring the Laundry Diva discussing an interview done by Special Guest Kwame Shakur with his friend, Royal Amos, believed to be wrongfully convicted in the murder of his girlfriend and unborn child. What follows is the playing of the interview and then a discussion with Shakur about what he knows about the subject and his friend, Mr. Amos.

Stick around for a discussion about laundry history: (http://www.ohea.on.ca/blog/the-brief-history-of-laundry) and some closing remarks.

Hot Topic: Sexploitation and a Colorado Solution

Hot Topic: Sexploitation and a Colorado Solution

Before we get started let me put up a couple of trigger warnings: There will be a frank discussion of sex trafficking and sexual abuse.

There is also a layer of religious discussion because the topic involves a religious group home.

With that being said, go get your cuppa! I‘ll wait right here.

When you get back we’ll sit down with my friend Jacqui Staples who I had the pleasure of interviewing last year about her amazing passion project, Sarah’s Home, a Christ-centered sanctuary for girls who are rescued from sex trafficking.

Each week host Desiree Hickson (aka The Laundry Diva) invites guests on to discuss their entrepreneurial journey, current events, or community service activities and keeps listeners informed on the proper steps to manage their everyday laundry challenges. It’s like your mom started a podcast and invited all of her cool friends to have a chat about why they’re too busy to get their laundry done. Premiering Monday, Sept 7th.

Who's Going To Put Away All This Laundry? with Dr. Lauren Penn

Who's Going To Put Away All This Laundry? with Dr. Lauren Penn

On a quiet Friday morning, two days after Christmas, I sat down in the conference room, in Miriam’s Place, to chat about laundry and community service with Dr. Lauren Penn of PinPoint Chiropractic in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The conversation morphed from a discussion of the biggest challenge she has to getting her laundry put away and her closets organized and how she was motivated to start a sack lunch program for the homeless in Colorado Springs to her business philosophy, entrepreneurship, and service and her amazing reading list.

The entire interview is too long to share in one sitting, so I’ve broken it down into two episodes. The first episode will cover her challenges with laundry, her faith and inspiration for her community service. The second episode will cover her business, her philosophy on entrepreneurship, and the books she recommends to every entrepreneur.

Please click the follow button, wherever you are listening to this podcast, so that you will get access to the second episode as soon as it’s available
