Because I was like, victim-centered isn't just, oh, this victim was beautiful and wonderful and had a great personality. Victim-centered for me would have meant, what can we do to ensure that this doesn't happen again? I think that that's something that's common amongst victims of... all types of crimes.

And I just felt like, why was so often the takeaway of true crime things like, you should just be afraid of everyone. Anyone could be out to get you. I didn't feel like that was very affirming. I just felt like that made me feel more scared. And at a time when I felt already so anxious and fearful... I wanted something that felt connecting.

And I was like, couldn't these stories be used to generate empathy, to be nuanced, to make us feel safer and bring us together? I just had been pausing these shows so often, kind of complaining to my husband about it. And eventually he was just like, you know what? Why don't you start your own podcast?

He's the kind of person he's always kind of like pushing me to do something new or take on a new project. I'm like, I don't have time for that. It's too much. But this one I was like, not only can I not say I don't have time because I'm just sitting here doing cat puzzles and listening to podcasts. But also, it was like, wow, actually, this is a great idea.

Like, I do feel like I have a unique perspective. even just being a Black creator. Of course, there's some great Black true crime creators, but there aren't very many. But then also, you know, having my experience navigating the system, but then also having the views that I did and the experience I had around racial and social justice advocacy,

I was like, maybe I could create something that would kind of mesh all those things together. For a lot of people, when you're consuming true crime stories, it is about entertainment. I wouldn't be listening to episode after episode after episode if there wasn't something entertaining about it. It could be comforting or cathartic and all those things can be true too.

But also there's something about the way that we're telling these stories, especially in true crime podcasting, that's compelling to people.
