At the age of 11, Anjali was tricked into leaving her remote village in the foothills of Nepal. For over two years, she was confined to a brothel and forced into the rape-for-profit industry in India. Today, we hear about her experiences, how she escaped, and the power of forgiving those who enslaved her. It’s an incredibly powerful story of hope and aggression you won’t soon forget.

Host Brian Tome believes there is a better way, and it's by embracing the power of healthy aggression. Listen in as he talks with people who are living lives that punch passivity in the mouth.
