    Episode 19: MMIW ( Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women)

    Episode 19: MMIW ( Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women)

    This topic is to near and dear to our hearts. Join Emma and Hannah in an educational solemn podcast about missing and murdered indigenous women in the area. 

    While women and girls are the primary victims of violence and human trafficking among Native Americans, they are not alone. People of all ages are victims of these horrific crimes, including men, boys, infants, and the elderly.

    In fact, 82% of indigenous men are victims of violence in their lifetime and Native children are more likely to experience trauma and abuse than their non-Native peers. When educating yourself about the struggles of Native Americans, it's important to recognize and remember all victims of these crimes.

    Please take a moment to think of our missing and murdered  indigenous people:
    especially -
    Ashley Loring Heavyrunner (Missing)
    Kimberly Iron (case # 20-01228)
    Selena Not Afraid (remains found) 
    Faith Lindsay  (remains found) 
    Sabrina Rosette (remains found) 
    Liz  (missing) 
    Kadyh Britan (Missing)

    Episode 18: Should Jesus have been aborted?

    Episode 18: Should Jesus have been aborted?

    We have spilled the tea on the notes and letters presented from the past company we were employed at and show light on the shadows as to why Emma and Hannah walked out.
    as well as......

    Is pro choice controversial? Emma and Hannah Don't think so. In fact they side with the Bible on this one and just like how Jesus killed all the 1st born children whose doors weren't painted red with blood, or how he  flooded the entire world to start again, or how he asked Isaac to sacrifice his son.  Jesus isn't against abortion and even if he was, is that where our morals should come from

    Parenthood is a choice- listen to the reasons why? Honest discussions as to why not and conversation with the facebook listeners.


    Trigger warning: Foul language, controversial views, abortion, and delightful pearl clutching topics.
