Migrant OdysseyThe Tiny Mighty Organization: the fight against trafficking in womenWhile the media focus on punishing - or protecting - the powerful men who consorted with Jeffrey Epstein, it has completely neglected to ask: how can any man traffic and exploit women and children in plain sight?

In this episode Stephen Barden talks to Taina Bien Aimé, who has devoted herself to this cause for over three decades, and heads an organization that punches way above it weight. Send a text

The Power of BalanceSpeakers of Truth to Power: Lt. General (retired) Ben HodgesThe third guest in this special series is not someone you would immediately think of as speaking truth to power.

His worry is that the unwillingness of some of the most senior military echelons to speak out against the growing demands of the current administration is either because they are fearful of something....or they agree.Contact me hereFor more infor...
