Beauty For Ashes

Destynie Ireland

Death is often tragic and messy. But there CAN be something beautiful that comes from it, if we choose to see and embrace it. This podcast was inspired by my late father, who’s dying wish was to share his life story (in his own words). Unfortunately, he died before he was able to tell us his story. But his story, and the story of many others are WORTH sharing. On this podcast, you’ll hear the untold stories from the perspective of their loved ones.
