Sam's guest this episode is human rights advocate, advocate, and speaker, Johanna Tropiano, about abuse against women, how we should respond to victims of abuse, and the prevalence abuse in the lives of women who are incarcerated.

Johanna has spent the last eight years working with International Justice Mission and other organizations on justice related human rights issues, such as human trafficking, violence towards women and children, and police brutality.

She is a survivor of domestic violence and Double Abuse from friends, family members, and church leaders who refused to believe her cries for help and emboldened her Alleged Perpetrator. As a result, Johanna is a passionate advocate for those who have no voice.

Her work has been published in multiple media outlets, including The Huffington Post, Darling Magazine, The Girl Who Knows, The Yellow Conference, Holl and Lane, and others. In 2016, she co-founded The MEND Project with Annette Oltmans.
