This episode will discuss "The Missing Links" of Justice Reform in America and the Profit of Non Profit. We will be addressing how the voices of victims, communities and families of Human Trafficking, Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking, Child Sexual Exploitation, Juvenile Justice and Justice Reform Issues have been removed from the conversation of rebuilding the system and why the issue of race seems to be ignored. Who is missing from the equation and why?  How can we reform a broken system when we refuse to ackowledge the shattered and broken pieces?

Is the "AfterSchool" App a new Craiglist or BackPage?  What is the FBI, ICE, Homeland Security & USAG doing to make sure that this program is properly monitored and does not become a source for Human Trafficking, Sex Trafficking, and Sexual Child Expoliation.  It could be the most innocent app on the market, however, in light of the abuses sustained by children acorss this country, to include allegations of cyberbullying and other threats against children, we need to make sure that this app does not become a funnel for trafficking, abuse and threats against children. #FemaleNOTFeemale

God, Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Fairy God Mother - Commonality? Does God share in common the role of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Fairy God Mother? What do you expect from or of your imaginary God? What encounters have you had with God that lets you know there is a God other than your mere presence on earth? Do you believe in the afterlife and why? Do you really believe in God or just the thought that "a" God exist? Religion is a worldwide trillion dollar industry.

 8 Year Old: 8 Year Old Alabama Child Reportedly Killed Infant Sister. This episode will discuss the Alabama police and prosecutor decision to charge an 8-year with killing his infant sister while his mother reportedly went "Clubbing."  We will discuss the collateral consequenes associated with charging this child and why juvenile court is not the proper setting to address the issues in this case.

This episdose will discuss the Murderers of 9 Year-Old TyShawn Lee must be brought to justice.  There exist only 4 possible "suspects" who would or could have "lured" him into an alley to be executed.  in us as we discuss the murder and murderers of Tyshawn Lee of Chicago. People Magazine reports "Our children have a right to walk our streets. Our children have a right to play in the park. Our children have a right to sit on their porch. Our children have a right expect to be safe wherever they are in the city of Chicago." “This is not a stray bullet, not a drive-by — this is multiple gunshots to a child and only that one person shot,” Reverend Michael Pfleger told the Chicago Sun-Times. “There’s no question that this is targeted and that it’s an execution.”

  This episode will discuss judicial corruption and what must be done by the President, the Senate and local Governments to address justice reform. We cannot pretend that we do not have a problem in this Country when we can buy and sale judges - justice - at any price.   Not a problem?  Then, why did our U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg address a need for reform concerning the money involved in electing judges, and even went as far as saying that it remains one of the most pressing concerns facing the American court system? From local to federal appointments judicial corruption is a critical issue and as long as judges are for sale then, we do not have justice and there will never be reform. Judicial corruption is not limited to finance, we have judges who purchase drugs from dealers and sex from underaged children as well as victims of human trafficking and child sexual exploitation.  We have judges sale justice - outcomes - of cases. Every sector of the electoral process is subject to term

This epispde will discuss the "Funding Opportunities that thwart efforts of reform for victims of exploitation. Every day in America, thousands of women and children are sold for sex. Law enforcement arrests the children as “juvenile prostitutes” asserting they are not victims but are willing participants. In major cities, African-American girls represent the majority of victims of sexual exploitation. This is not a new phenomenon. Since the new millennium, commercial sexual exploitation of African-American children has grown to become part of a billion dollar industry. Jefferson said, “Over the course of a decade, she has witnessed the role of corporate financial supporters on issues like human trafficking, and juvenile justice and reform; the role of the Black “powers that be,” and the role of the political and nonprofit leaders who work effortless to thwart meaningful advocacy and change.”  Jefferson said, “It is unfortunate that some recipients of nonprofit funding are as responsible for advocating agains

This episode will discuss how Orange is in fact the New "Black." The privatization of the prison industrial complex has created a growing trend in the incarceration of women and girls.

This episode will discuss how the State of Georgia General Assembly has knowingly passed several unconstitutional criminal statutes that have resulted in charges against its citizens and how they refuse to amend, repeal or abolish the laws. The State Attorney General Sam Olens and Governor Nathan Deal have notice of five Georgia criminal statutes (O.C.G.A. 17-4-40, O.C.G.A. 16-11-40, O.C.G.A. 16-5-90, O.C.G.A. 16-11-39.1),  that are unconstitutional both facially and as-applied to Georgia citizens, as void for vagueness and under the over breadth doctrine,  For example, O.C.G.A. 16-11-40 punishes Georgia citizens for "Criminal Defamation of Character."   This legislation infringes upon free speech violates the overbreadh doctrine and is also void for vagueness.  The State of Georgia Council for Criminal Justice Reform and the Governor promotes reform, however, how can we reform the justice system when we have unconstitutional laws that keep people subject to detention and bondage?   

This episode will discuss how America’s obsession with incarcerating its most vulnerable members of society should be of great concern to everyone because research proves that incarceration does not prevent crime or advance public safety. Almost two million people in America are incarcerated. Women and girls represent the mothers of the future generation of America. It is inexcusable to suffer the most disenfranchised segment of society to the harsh conditions of prison life. A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN -- A WORD FROM ATTORNEY SHERRI JEFFERSON Remember Deanna Watson of Charlotte, North Carolina, 16 year old held on one MILLION dollar bond for self defense against her mother's boyfriend.

We have remained silent concerning the Atlanta Public School scandal so that "justice" could take its course.  Now, that the "truth" has been revealed and several Atlanta public schools administrators and teachers were adjudged guilty by a jury of their peers and sentenced for racketeering convictions related to a massive standardized test cheating scandal, Attorney Sherri Jefferson will share her thoughts on the "Real Lesson to be Learned."
