This week, we sit down with Meghan Verikas, a local Houstonian who had to do the unimaginable - fake her own kidnapping to escape her high-profile abuser. Her shocking story has gained local and national attention including a Dateline NBC exclusive.
We believe that it is important to elevate the voices of survivors. We also recognize how difficult it is to share their stories, so we are grateful that Meghan chose to share hers with us.
After Meghan's story, Rania sits down with expert contributor Amy Smith to discuss Domestic Violence Awareness month and how COVID has changed domestic violence. Amy is the Deputy Director at Harris County Domestic Violence Coordinating Council and a long time friend of Crime Stoppers.
Tune into Episode 7 of #TheBalancedVoice #Podcast on Wednesday, October 26th at 10am on the Crime Stoppers of Houston Facebook Page.
