In this week's episode, The Mystics take a step back from their usual lighthearted and wild content to just check in. Originally, a fun, silly episode was planned, but in light of the recent election, Amber and Lesley decided to focus on each other and the unknown we are about to step in. Please take a moment and remember that you are not alone, especially in times like these that can feel overwhelming.

Our DMs are open for respectful conversations should you feel the need for a friend. We love you and are glad you are here today.

In this week's episode, The Mystics reach the conclusion of our Lake Lanier series, and dive deeper into the lake's haunting history with a look back at the Reconstruction Era, a turbulent period following the end of slavery. In this episode, Amber and Lesley explore Sherman’s Field Order 15—a policy that offered a glimpse of hope and a promise of land for newly freed Black Americans. But as the two uncover, this promise was overshadowed by a dark wave of hatred and violence that ultimately forced most Black families to abandon the area. With a mix of respect and wit, The Mystics shine a light on the efforts to support formerly enslaved people, and the devastating events that continue to leave their mark on Lake Lanier today.

Neither Amber nor Lesley will ever tell you how to vote. That goes against everything the United States stands for. But on this election day, please remember our country's history. Hear the real life stories from news sources and history books. Does it sound horrific? Almost something out of a movie plot? It's not. This part of history shows what hatred, a lack of empathy for others and fear will do to a county and group of people. Whatever you do today, please VOTE for what you believe in. Vote for your neighbors, your mothers and daughters, for those who have come to this country seeking safety and security. Vote like your life depends on it. WE ARE.
