HOST BEV LIVINGSTON SPEAKS WITH TAMICKA MONSON; HOST TERRI WILKE SPEAKS WITH KATHY KELLY – TUNE IN!
Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality. We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen. Tune in Monday to hear host Bev Livingston speak with her guest, Tamicka Monson, a professional counselor at Tamicka Monson Counseling LLC. They will discuss her book, Where Daddy Lives and more will be shared! Tamicka holds three degrees, including a Master of Science in counseling psychology from the University of Kansas. She is extremely passionate about identity work. Through individual and group counseling, speaking, and writing, Tamicka helps others heal, grow, and become the best version of themselves. As a dedicated speaker for over fifteen years, Tamicka uses her skills to reach out to hurting individuals within communities. Her topics include mental and emotional healing and living as a whole person after experiencing trauma. She also speaks to community leaders about social justice (such as gun violence, mass incarceration, and poverty) affecting minority communities. Furthermore, having worked in childcare, youth development, education, and mental health, she challenges educators to consider the unique struggles of those within minority and poverty-stricken communities and how these struggles affect them. Tamicka’s most recent publication is her children’s book entitled Where Daddy Lives, about children of incarcerated parents. She has written articles and has been featured on several podcasts and radio stations, including 90.7 KJHK and 90.9 The Bridge. Additionally, she is a rap artist and songwriter and uses her music to bring healing to others.

Just as there is no such thing as “good” or necessary slavery, there is no such thing as a “good” or necessary war. Both institutions are abhorrent and never acceptable, no matter the circumstances. So, if we can’t use war to resolve international conflicts, what can we do? Finding a way to transition to a global security system that is supported by international law, diplomacy, collaboration, and human rights, and defending those things with nonviolent action rather than the threat of violence, is the heart of WBW. Their work includes education that dispels myths, like “War is natural” or “We have always had war,” and shows people not only that war should be abolished, but also that it actually can be. Their work includes all variety of nonviolent activism that moves the world in the direction of ending all war. Kathy Kelly lives in Chicago and she was in Kansas City for peace demonstrations at the National Security Campus, operated by Honeywell, this past May, 2024. The National Security Campus is in the news again because band they are hiring and the number of employees makes Honeywell the largest employer in the Kansas City area – let’s ask, why have so many Kansas Citians employed making nuclear weapons? Just one more thing – we want to thank everyone who gave money to KKFI during our pledge drive! KKFI is listener supported radio and with your help, more good radio will be coming your way.
