In this episode, Arianna sits down with Danitza, a former Correctional Officer turned educator, author, and tech founder, to explore what it means to protect people and preserve truth.

From working in a Protective Custody Unit to earning a PhD in Human Sexuality, Danitza shares how trauma, empathy, and lived experience shaped her path. She opens up about her book Left Vulnerable, her work as a mother and leader, and her latest venture, ELYS, a startup redefining safety and legacy through compassionate technology.

This conversation is about courage, humanity, and making sure what matters most is never lost.
