If This Kitchen Could Talk

What do you do when the one person that is supposed to be your foundation is crippled by their own addiction; and cannot fulfill their role as mom? Tara shares her story of coming to terms with her mother's addiction and finding common ground.

Every woman remembers their first true love. Ruth Bader Ginsberg is no different. From the outside, Ruth and Marty looked like complete opposites. But deep down inside, they were connected with a bond that no obstacle could ever break. From that first night, their motto was, "where ever you are is where I want to be"

What do you do when your abuser is your father, whom you love, and your mother uses your abuse against you instead of helping you? Deanna took the strength she needed to survive her abuse and used it to help thousands upon thousands of little girls all over the country. This is her story of strength and justice not just for herself; but for all the other little girls out there!

To really know a woman, you must first know the little girl they once were, for that little girl never leaves them. In today's mini-episode of Discovering Ruth, we get a glimpse of Kiki, the little girl Ruth Bader Gingsberg once was.  

About 300,000 children with a few as young as 10 were married in the US between 2000 and 2018. ... Child marriage is a dirty secret crisis in America that is not talked about. Despite its proven detriment to young girls for generations, surprisingly, there is little action taken to put a stop to it! Today I talk with two survivors of child marriage and how they struggled to heal from the trauma of a stolen childhood and came out on the other side of a life-long journey of building a life after marriage.

In Wyoming alone, over 700 Indigegenous women are missing. Each year, thousands of Indigenous women around the country are murdered and kidnapped with no press coverage, no outrage and no justice served. The Indigenous people are the true founders of Turtle Island; yet so little is known about their history, their culture, and their everyday life of love and peace. This is an injustice that needs to be righted!! Let's grab a plate, cop a squat and talk about it!!

In Wyoming, a pretty girl goes missing and the nation is captivated. Her story was on every social media platform and on the headline news continuously. But the media failed to mention the thousands of indigenous women that go missing each year. Where are they? And WHY AREN'T WE TALKING ABOUT THEM?
