Episode 206-A Phoenix Rising from the Ashes- Clemmie Greenlee

Warning- This episode deals with incredible sensitive and hard topics, like abuse, rape, sex-trafficking and drug abuse. If these are potential triggers for you, please do what you need to do to take care of yourself and stop listening if things become too heavy. My guest this week is more than a conqueror. It is amazing that she is alive. It is amazing that she still has her sanity in tact. Her life, from the time she was a little girl (5 years old), was filled with abuse and neglect and atrocities no child should ever experience. Clemmie Greenlee is a survivor and she is a champion of humanity. She fights for the very lives of girls and women caught in the sex slave trade...she fights for the lives of young boys and girls on the streets in her community...and she is a safe haven for scores of mothers who have faced the most tragic of losses, the death of a child due to gang violence or police activity. Clemmie is one of the most respected leaders in the Nashville community and her story and her work have impacted countless lives around our country. She is the Founder and CEO of Nashville Peacemakers and she is the proud leader of a group called Mothers over Murder. She is a woman I respect immensely and someone I am proud to call more than a friend....she is truly family. Please take a listen to this special episode of the True West Podcast.
