Dear Sister is a breathtaking memoir about two sisters and the high-profile case involving Nikki Addimando, who was incarcerated for killing her longtime abuser. Michelle Horton, her sister, tells the audience about the harrowing years of Nikki's trials, incarceration and the devastating fall-out to raise Nikki's young children and to battle the criminal justice system. She speaks about her own healing journey in spite of the devastation to her family and community as they bore witness to the injustices of a legal system steeped in archaic notions about domestic violence victims. Michelle speaks openly and honestly about this heart wrenching experience and its impact on her life. Questions of comments?

In September 2017, after years of physical abuse and sexual torture, Nicole "Nikki" Addimando fatally shot her abusive partner in self-defense.  And in February 2020, Nicole was sentenced to 19 years to life in prison for killing the perpetrator of her abuse, where she became part of the 97% of women in prison nationwide who have experienced physical or sexual abuse.Long time listeners of WeSTAT know that I have been personally following this case very closely.  In 2021, I had the opportunity to focus on Nikki's case in two episodes: One with Rebecca and Wendy, two representatives of the Nicole Addimando Community Defense Committee, as well as with  journalist Justine van der Leun who partnered with Lemonada media and Spiegel and Grau to release a six part award winning podcast about Nikki's case called “Believe Her” .Through all of my following of this case, one person's name comes up over and over, and that is Nikki's sister, Michelle Horton.  Since Nikki's arrest in 2017, Michelle has been caring for Nikki's two children, Ben and Faith, quarterbacking her defense strategy and trying to figure out how to support Nikki, herself, and so many others that have been devastated by these events.  However, I have never had the opportunity to meet or talk with Michelle, until today.Michelle Horton is a passionate writer and advocate based in New York's Hudson Valley. As the caregiver for Nikki Addimando's children, and a crucial figure in Nikki's defense strategy, Michelle has emerged as a fierce advocate for survivors of domestic violence. Her forthcoming memoir, "Dear Sister," provides an intimate and eye-opening look at the challenges faced by survivors within the criminal justice system. Through her unwavering commitment and personal experiences, Michelle offers a compelling voice in advocating for the rights of survivors and shedding light on the pervasive issue of domestic violence.Buy the bookFor support and resources:Hour Children Survived and PunishedSanctuary for FamiliesCriminalized Survivors ReportSupport the showKeep up with all things WeSTAT on any (or ALL) of the social feeds:InstagramThreads : westatpodFacebookLinkedInTwitterHave a topic or want to stay in touch via e-mail on all upcoming news?https://www.westatpod.com/Help monetarily support the podcast by subscribing to the show!

Don't let the apparent middle-agedness of the cover model fool you -- that's 16-year-old Jessica Wakefield all dolled up for her star turn on the Eric Parker's national evening talk show. Or, at least it's one of those Wakefield girls. Actor Alex Jennings (THE GOLDBERGS) returns (#7: DEAR SISTER was her last appearance) to talk all this out.

Feminism succeeded in making men and women forget how to talk to each other, and instead taught us to talk past each other. This process has been evolving since World War 2, when some of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers went to work in the factories, and decided (wrongly) that they don't need men. That's a lie from the pits of hell. Women do need men, and the longer they pretend they don't, the worse it'll be for them. But men and women are being reborn in Christ, together, and learning how to speak to one another again. This conversation between me and Anneliese from Feminine not Feminist is an example. In our conversation we discussed: The CS Lewis “Space Trilogy” Alison Armstrong's “The Queen's Code” Mom Culture and Resentment Was Eve Controlling Adam? Feminism and Black Lives Matter The Power of Women's Smile Men, Women, and Forgiveness Thanks to The Bottle & Bean in Chandler, Arizona. # WATCH MY DOCUSERIES OVERVIEW # https://renofmen.com/series Thank you. # CONNECT WITH ANNELIESE # https://www.instagram.com/feminine_not_feminist/ https://linktr.ee/femininenotfeminist # DIGITAL CONFERENCE - EDITION 2 # "The Proverbs 31 Woman" with: Alison Armstrong, Feminine Not Feminist, Dear Sister, Solie Olie, Bernadine Bluntly, Isa Ryan, Martine De Luna.

RENAISSANCE OF MEN DOCUMENTARY OVERVIEW: https://youtu.be/6RGDFEUoLpU -- My guest this week is Chase aka SovereignBrah. You might not know his name, but you'll almost certainly recognize his face. Last year he was anon, until he appeared on the Whatever podcast, where he spoke truth to a panel of girls about their life choices and went mega viral. That led him onto Tim Pool's show, and on that show, Chase took a big risk, one of the biggest risks of all: preaching the Gospel to Tim and his audience of millions. That clip exploded. For all the godly men wondering, "Who would I be if it were my turn on the stage?" I pray Chase provides you an example of who I think we'd all like to be, and work to become. In our conversation we discussed: Chase's background and ride to stardom God humbling the proud Physical strength and spiritual strength The Alpha Male vs. Incel False Dichotomy Righteous Ambition and Spiritual Warfare Our testimonies, and Chase's story of his transformation in Christ CONNECT WITH CHASE https://twitter.com/sovereignbrah Original Whatever Podcast Appearance Tim Pool Podcast Appearance - MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST https://twitter.com/ChivalryGuild "More Than A Carpenter" - Josh McDowell "They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll" - Good Fight Ministries Chuck Missler Lecture "Cosmic Codes" - DIGITAL CONFERENCE - EDITION 2 "The Proverbs 31 Woman" with: Alison Armstrong, Feminine Not Feminist, Dear Sister, Solie Olie, Bernadine Bluntly, Isa Ryan, Martine De Luna: Get tickets: http://renofmen.com/conference  - SPONSOR - REFORMATION COFFEE Hand-roasted in small batches within two days of your order, from a Reformed pastor in Springfield, Missouri with 15 years of roasting experience. http://reformationcoffee.com Entercode SUBFREE to get a free bag with a new monthly subscription.

Arthur Dayne hosts the podcast and Instagram page, Blood and Rain, and leads the Anti-Fragile Fitness online community. He's also a stage-trained actor, brooding and thoughtful writer, and an aspiring pro fighter whose physique looks like a dump truck with fists. In 2020 he felt the call to speak up on masculinity, fitness, philosophy, geopolitics, art, culture, literature, the SF-Oakland Bay Area, and, of course, fighting. He's since become a mentor and role model in his own right, leading the men of Anti-Fragile Fitness, forward into war. Cultural war, political war, religious war, a war on weakness, gravity, and the other man in the ring.

Will God answer your prayer if you don't end with, "In Jesus' name, Amen?" Learn what praying in the name of Jesus really means. I taught this week on the call of Abraham and the development of God's missionary call through the nation of Israel as they were responsible to communicate the truth of God to the cultures around them. They were given that great commission. The great commission didn't start in Matthew 28. It started with Abraham in Genesis 12—the first three verses there—Abraham, chosen by God to raise up a nation who would then be God's priests to the world so that they would be a blessing to all of the nations. They had a unique role in the great monotheistic religion. The Jews were supposed to reflect morality to the world. Israel was to witness to the name of God. When they talked about the name of God and witnessing to God's name, that does not mean that they were to let everybody know what they called God, "Yahweh." Their goal wasn't to cover the countryside with evangelists who just let everybody know what the right word for God was. It meant something different. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆https://linktr.ee/jacksonlibon---------------------------------------------------#realtalk #face #instagram #SDF #SYNDICAT #DESPUTES #amour #take #couple #dance #dancers #vogue #voguedqnce #garden #tiktok #psychology #beyou #near #love #foryou #money #ForYouPizza #fyp #irobot #theend #pups #TikToker #couplegoals #famille #relation #doudou #youtube #twitter #tiktokers #love #reeĺs #shorts #instagood #follow #like #ouy #oyu #babyshark #lilnasx #girl #happybirthday #movie #nbayoungboy #deviance #autotrader #trading #khan #academy #carter #carguru #ancestry #accords #abc #news #bts #cbs #huru #bluebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #music #google #photography #memes #marketing #india #followforfollowback #likeforlikes #a #insta #fashion #k #trending #digitalmarketing #covid #o #snapchat #socialmediamarketing¹
