🎉 Truer Crime Season 2 + A Big Night in Minneapolis! 🎧🧁
Catch up on this weeks' episodes + come celebrate with us tomorrow!
Hi Friends!
Dropping in this Wednesday with a little bonus edition of Sincerely, Celisia, packed full of announcements that just couldn’t wait until Friday!!
I’m excited to share that Season 2 of my podcast, Truer Crime, premiered this past Monday, which means you can listen to the first TWO episodes right now wherever you get your podcasts! Here’s a sneak peek of what to expect:
The Assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
On April 4, 1968, a single bullet ended the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The official story pinned the murder on James Earl Ray—a fugitive desperate to evade capture—but for decades, the King family has fought to expose a darker truth. In this episode, we uncover the buried evidence, tangled conspiracies, and a stunning 1999 civil trial that found the U.S. government complicit in King’s assassination. What does justice look like for one of history’s most celebrated heroes—and why is so much of this story still left untold?
Lauren McCluskey
A student at the University of Utah, Lauren McCluskey began receiving threatening messages from her ex-boyfriend in the fall of 2018. For nearly three weeks, concerned for her safety, she reported this harassment to campus police again and again. Today’s episode is about the deadly cost of warnings ignored—and what happens when the people we trust to protect us fail to take action.
But that’s not all!! Tomorrow (January 23rd), you can join us in celebrating this launch with an unforgettable night of community, conversation, books, and treats! 🥳 (Peep the bottom of this email if you want the link to join us virtually!)
