Western Mass Business Show on 11.12.24 — Tiffany Chapman, Photographer
In The Western Mass. Business Show
Join us as we take a snapshot of Tiffany Chapman and her journey into creating her hobby into a full-time business. While it hasn’t been easy, following your heart often isn’t. After getting laid off in 2020, Tiffany decided to take the leap and start her own photography business. The road of an entrepreneur is often paved with potholes and sacrifices but also yellow bricks and rainbows. Listen in as we hear about some of both and how you might be able to help this community treasure find her own pot of gold at the end of her entrepreneurial journey. We must support one another to make this community the place that we all want to be. Thanks for listening and being a part of the magic of the WMBS.

The Hustler Files Ep 85
THE 13TH AMENDMENT, LEGAL SLAVERY & PROPOSITION 6
Here in 2024, the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution still states; “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction”. This year, on the California ballot, was Proposition 6, a ‘yes’ vote would amend the California Constitution and prohibit the state from punishing incarcerated individuals with involuntary work assignments AND from disciplining those who refuse to work. Prop 6 didn’t pass and so slave labor may continue within the California prison system. Nicolas Tirado, of the Anti-Recidivism Coalition, spent 11 years in various California prisons, working at jobs that would have no transferrable skills, back in the community, and making $.86 a day, PRE tax and restitution. His recent online op-ed, in Teen Vogue, was an eye opening article about ending “modern-day slavery” and well worth the read.
