Laundry and Other Mysteries Desiree Hickson aka The Laundry Diva

In this episode, we feature a Replay from the Clubhouse app in the True Crime Talks Club and the Injustice Files Room featuring the Laundry Diva discussing an interview done by Special Guest Kwame Shakur with his friend, Royal Amos, believed to be wrongfully convicted in the murder of his girlfriend and unborn child. What follows is the playing of the interview and then a discussion with Shakur about what he knows about the subject and his friend, Mr. Amos.

Stick around for a discussion about laundry history: (http://www.ohea.on.ca/blog/the-brief-history-of-laundry) and some closing remarks.

Before we get started let me put up a couple of trigger warnings: There will be a frank discussion of sex trafficking and sexual abuse.

There is also a layer of religious discussion because the topic involves a religious group home.

With that being said, go get your cuppa! I‘ll wait right here.

When you get back we’ll sit down with my friend Jacqui Staples who I had the pleasure of interviewing last year about her amazing passion project, Sarah’s Home, a Christ-centered sanctuary for girls who are rescued from sex trafficking.

Pull up a hamper and a cuppa and listen in as I chat with my internet bestie, Allie McNeil, as we discuss her adventures with COVID, how to do laundry in the big city in the middle of a pandemic, and stick around for a lesson on how NOT to do true crime!
