Imagine if as an eleven-year-old, you were woken up by the sounds of your father murdering your mother?Filmmaker and podcaster, Collier Landry testified on the witness stand against his father at age 12, and it was his testimony that helped put his father in prison for life. But later on as an adult, he found that he still wanted closure.But what would you do if you’d confronted your father in prison in the hopes that he would tell you why he did it, but found that he was incapable of telling the truth? Would you verbally attack him in a fit of justified rage? Or would you hug him and tell him you loved him before saying goodbye.More From Collier Landry:Visit: www.collierlandry.comListen: Moving Past Murder PodcastWatch: A Murder in MansfieldFinding Collier Landry:TikTok, Twitter & Instagram: @collierlandrySupport: www.patreon.com/collierlandry Special thanks to our sponsors:BetterHelp:BetterHelp is a great, affordable option for professional counseling done securely online.

Celebrating Black Stories And Voices:Eating disorders have historically been associated with heterosexual, young, white females, but in reality, they affect people from all demographics of all ethnicities at similar rates. People of color – especially African American women – are significantly less likely to receive help for their eating issues.Today with us we have Shanetta McDonald, a Los Angeles-based creative. After spending more than 10 years in PR & Sales with executive-level roles for national and global brands, Shanetta decided to move her passions for wellness and storytelling to the forefront of her life with Motif, a community focused on supporting the healing, well-being, and connection among women of color by sharing their stories. Motif was inspired by Shanetta's personal story which involves battling and recovering from an eating disorder, stemming from childhood traumas, and also learning to break skewed societal perceptions of what it means to be a Black woman in America. Shanetta found that opening up and sharing about her struggles with food and body - through writing and conversations with other BIPOC women - was a tool that supported her healing and created invaluable connections with women like herself. She believes that by sharing our stories, we create deeper connections with others like us and forge a path for our healing and blossoming.To learn more about Motif visit: https://www.ourmotif.coInstagram: @ourmotif or @_iamshanSpecial thanks to our sponsors:Away:We love our new sponsor AWAY, the modern lifestyle brand that creates thoughtful products for every traveler and every kind of trip.

Celebrating Black Stories And Voices:“The police are the community and the community is the police. If we don’t start recognizing that simple fact, if we don’t start healing – together, we will continue to wake up to the same headlines of unarmed black men being shot, of police officers being ambushed, and of a growing rift between police and the people they’re sworn to protect.”Today’s guest is police officer, Dr. Obed Magny. Dr. Magny grew up in Boston, Massachusetts where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and Sociology from the University of Massachusetts at Boston. Dr. Magny relocated to Sacramento where he obtained a Master’s Degree in Emergency Services Administration from the California State University at Long Beach, and a Doctorate Degree in Organizational Leadership from the University of La Verne. Currently a police officer in the Sacramento Police Department, Dr. Magny works in patrol. Previous assignments included Narcotics, School Resource Officer, Crime Suppression Unit, and the Parole Intervention Team. Dr. Magny also served on the Board of Directors for the Sacramento Police Officers Association (SPOA) for three years.ASEBP https://www.americansebp.org  Email- obed@magnyleadership.com Instagram & Twitter: @DrObedMagnySpecial thanks to our sponsors:BetterHelp:BetterHelp is a great, affordable option for professional counseling done securely online.
