In this episode, I chat with Tamara MC, PhD. Dr. Tamara MC is a freedom activist for girls and women worldwide. She is a social scientist and linguist who explores how language is used to manipulate vulnerable populations.As a cult, child marriage, polygamy, and modern-day slavery survivor/advocate, themes in her work explore coercive control, intergenerational trauma, religion/spirituality, and mothering. She researches language, culture, and identity in the Middle East and beyond, specifically her hybrid identity of growing up simultaneously Jewish and Muslim. Tamara was part of a US-based Sufi group where she was coerced into becoming a child bride.

Customer Reviews
Essential for those interested in cults
Some good exclusive interviews and not the usual folks I’ve heard before
Well researched!
Kacey does an amazing job researching and presenting the information! Her empathy with her guests is tangible and I didn’t realize there were so many cults until I started listening to the Cult Vault! I’m excited to hear more!
Questionable
It disturbs me how harshly the host criticizes people who’ve belonged to these groups, and then goes out of her way on social media to attack them. It takes away credibility and overall leaves a gross feeling. There are way more professional shows available.
