The Hustler Files Ep 16

In The Hustler Files

THE SINS OF THE PARENTS SHOULD NOT BE LAID UPON THEIR CHILDREN

In the United States, one in five children has had a parent incarcerated at some point, and more than 75% of children who have had a parent incarcerated, has themselves become incarcerated. John F. Kennedy said, “We are not here to cure the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future”. This episode is emotionally riveting, not just because the woman sharing her story has both of her parents incarcerated for war crimes in Senegal and Rwanda, but because of the abuse she sustained as a victim, because of her parents circumstances. It is a journey of epic proportions that brings her to a place where, with the support of a village, she can share her story.

Amanda Mittman and Cara D’Anello would like you to know that you are enough. Your weight doesn’t define you but your genetics and body composition have charted your course. We are all warped by the healthcare industry, diet culture, the patriarchy, and capitalism that we have lost all sense of what our body should be. No more! Let’s see what your body can be with support and wrap around services that break the ideals about what is fit, beautiful, and standard. Hint there are guidelines but screw the standards.
