Girl, We Are Back! | Birthday Lessons & Hurricane Melissa

One thing about me, I'm gonna watch some TLC reality shows, and I'm gonna watch Vice documentaries. Imagine how thrilled I was to see two of my interests organically merge. This documentary was extremely well done, and it shed light on a lot of things that weren't known publicly. TLC and Kate definitely did some horrendous and drastic things for the sake of financial gain (in my opinion), and it was refreshing to get to see Jon and Collin speak their truth on such a large platform. I genuinely wish all of the Gosselin kids the absolute best, and I hope this documentary makes people reconsider using their kids as a way to financially support their families.

This episode was inspired by a conversation I recently had with all of you on Instagram, prompted by the discourse surrounding an article written by Chanté Joseph, titled Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now? | Vogue. The article was extremely well written, and thought provoking. However, many people online, including many large creators, chimed into the conversation without ever reading or listening to the article. A lot of the focus seems to be on women's responsibility to pick better partners, and I believe this lead folks to miss what I believe is Chanté's main point; heteronormativity should be questioned constantly, and singleness should not mean women are treated as if their lives are incomplete or unfulfilling. Worry not, in this episode of Girl, You Haven't Heard we break it all the way down. We discuss my initial answer to the question the article poses, we read and criticize the article, while also acknowledging the validity of Chanté's perspective. We wrap things up by getting into some of your opinions on the question the article poses, that were shared via instagram! I'd love to hear your thoughts, and opinions about this discourse but also this episode in general.I hope you enjoy this episode, and the rest of the episodes to come as much as I enjoy making them.Follow me on instagram: jayda (@jayda_isha) • Instagram photos and videosFind Girl, You Haven't Heard on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/31X49pkXs4BgFiowYJQRePFind Girl, You Haven't Heard on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/girl-you-havent-heard-true-crime-black-history/id1585227039 Inquiries: [email protected] Become a Channel Member For Exclusive Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHUxo1BIezsFxCeGNeysqA/joinBecome a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/girlyouhaventheard

This is the documentary that has the world in a chokehold since it's initial release and for good reason. It is an absolutely wild ride from beginning to end, and like many of you, after watching Unknown Number, I wondered how true it was, how accurate it was, and what they left out. After some research I realized that not only did the Netflix documentary skew with the reality of the situation, but they left out what I believe to be very critical information. Hence this full, and quite lengthy breakdown of the Netflix documentary, to the cut article written by Lauren Smiley, to everything in between. At the end of the day, the adults responsible for protecting these children gravely failed, and I hope they are able to experience peace, and healing after the horribly traumatic things this evil catfish thrust upon them. As you know, I always have a lot of strong opinions, BUT I cannot wait to hear yours. As always, be sure to leave your thoughts, feelings and opinions in the comments as well so we can discuss. Because BOY do we have a lot to talk about.The Cut Article: https://www.thecut.com/article/kendra-licari-daughter-cyberbully-mommy-meanest-true-story.htmlInquiries: [email protected] Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/girlyouhaventheardFind Girl, You Haven't Heard on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/girl-you-havent-heard-true-crime-black-history/id1585227039 Find Girl, You Haven't Heard on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/31X49pkXs4BgFiowYJQReP

After a brief hiatus, Girl, You Haven't Heard?? is back! It has been a long time coming, and with today being my birthday it felt like the perfect time to not only bring the show back, but switch things up. This time around, we are going to talk about whatever we want, simply because we can, but there will be an educational thread throughout each episode. This podcast was what started me on my content creation journey, and I loved hosting it. However, as life did it's thing it eventually was put on the backburner, and I always hoped that I would have the time and desire to bring it back. It seems like everything is finally in alignment and I could not be happier! I hope you enjoy this episode, and the rest of the episodes to come as much as I enjoy making them.In this return episode, we talk about 6 important things I have learned by 26 before we get into the meat and potatoes of the episode; tiktok controversy surrounding tourists in the Caribbean when Hurricane Melissa hit.Places To Donate:https://sharethemeal.org/en-us/campaigns/hurricanemelissa1https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/hurricane-melissahttps://donate.wck.org/give/738350?c_src=hurricane-melissa#!/donation/checkouthttps://give.allhandsandhearts.org/campaign/737551/donatehttps://give.hopeforhaiti.com/campaign/739906/donate?c_src=hurricane-melissahttps://give.projectcure.org/campaign/739336/donate?c_src=hurricane-melissahttps://give.fmsc.org/campaign/739160/donate?c_src=hurricane-melissahttps://www.gofundme.com/f/rebuild-montego-bay-animal-haven00:00 Intro01:38 26 Things I Learned By 2608:01 Tiktok Tourists & Hurricane Melissa

Richard Comte is an officer with the Winnipeg Police Service who initially began working for the force in 2002. In 2015, he found himself in quite a mess which he created all on his own. He and officer Andrew Tighe -Yes the same Andrew Tighe who was caught drunk driving- were responsible for investigating a sexual assault that had occurred at the Green Brier Inn which occurred in October of that same year. Richard’s unethical, threatening, problematic and questionable attempts at obtaining video surveillance footage would later come under fire, and he would be the subject of a LERA (Law Enforcement Review Agency) investigation and lawsuit filed by Jonathan Singh, owner of the Green Brier Inn. In this episode we discuss the details of the incident leading up to legal action taken as well as Richard’s general messiness behind the scenes throughout the process.

Josiah Henson is held in high regard in both Black Canadian and American history, despite being somewhat of a sellout. Born into enslavement in America, he was known on the plantation as a hard worker, and trustworthy. For this reason, he was able to work both on and off the property. He would often leave by himself, and for a long time made no attempt to run away. At one point, he even bartered his freedom with his enslaver, in exchange for helping over a dozen Black folks remain enslaved. During the latter part of his life, it becomes clear that he worked overtime in an attempt to make up for his previous harmful actions. Yet, despite his best efforts, he became the sole inspiration for the Uncle Tom stereotype. In this episode we dive into who Josiah Henson was, his life's work, a bit about the Dawn Settlement, as well the origins of the Uncle Tom stereotype, before rounding out with my thoughts as always.

On April 11th, 2023, Paige Theriault-Fischer, the woman who murdered Hodan Hashi, had all charges stayed. The statement put out by the prosecution's office makes it clear that they have no intentions of reopening the case, or charging Paige with anything. Less than six months after stealing a life, Paige is free and clear; she gets to go on with the rest of her life as if nothing happened, meanwhile the Hashi's lives are permanently altered. I had the privilege of heading from the Hashi family directly, through Hodan's sister Fartun. Her input, and her family's input is included throughout, and there is exclusive information within this episode that has not been shared elsewhere. This is the third update in Hodan's case where everything that has gone on in 2023 is covered in depth. I will continue to post updates as the case progresses. Please make sure to follow the Hashi's on their social platforms, donate and share their go-fund-me, and participate in their email campaign to try and get charges against Paige reinstated.

Marie Joseph Angelique is hands down one of the most misunderstood women in Canadian history. She was enslaved at a young age in Portugal before being forcibly transported to Montreal. Marie knew that her enslavement was wrong and immoral. She regularly rebelled in every way that she could and would admit to everything she did, without hesitation. She was the living embodiement of rebellion, and white Montrealers despised her for it. When the great Montreal fires of 1734 occurred, everyone was quick to blame Angelique, but she maintained her innocence. No one believed her, and she was tortured until she gave a coerced confession in order to end her suffering.   Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/girlyouhaventheard   Inquiries: [email protected]   Become a Channel Member For Exclusive Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHUxo1BIezsFxCeGNeysqA/join    Tip Me: Paypal.me/JaydaWayda444     Check Out My Blog: Black Women Are Always Blamed For Things We Didn’t Do | Marie-Joseph Angélique | by Jayda Hope | Girl, You Haven't Heard?? | Feb, 2023 | Medium Find Girl, You Haven't Heard on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/girl-you-havent-heard-true-crime-black-history/id1585227039    Find Girl, You Haven't Heard on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/31X49pkXs4BgFiowYJQReP

Viola was an extremely successful business woman who did everything in her power to propel Black women forward during a time period when they were intentionally being left behind. Viola Desmond was one of the many Black women who bravely and actively fought Canadian segregation, in a time where many were denying the fact that it even existed. When she eventually made her way to the Roseland Theatre, one of the many places in Nova Scotia that had unofficial segregation, she sat in the whites only section on the main floor as she was nearsighted. When she was told she needed to go to the balcony and sit with her people, she refused. The police were then called. They violently, and aggressively removed Viola from the theatre, injuring her. She was then jailed, and charged with defrauding the provincial government of Nova Scotia. Viola used this as an opportunity to shed light on the realities of being a Black woman in Nova Scotia, and the regular horrors they were subject to.  Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/girlyouhaventheard    Inquiries: [email protected]    Become a Channel Member For Exclusive Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHUxo1BIezsFxCeGNeysqA/join Tip Me: Paypal.me/JaydaWayda444    Check Out My Blog: https://medium.com/@jayda.hope.biz/the-blackburns-created-the-underground-railroad-554f1ec13085  Find Girl, You Haven't Heard on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/girl-you-havent-heard-true-crime-black-history/id1585227039    Find Girl, You Haven't Heard on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/31X49pkXs4BgFiowYJQReP

In September of 1996, 15-year-old Melanie left her friend’s home at around 2AM to make the 10 minute walk home. While walking home, she vanished without a trace. While public pressure was high, it seemed as if everything was being done to bring closure to her family. Once the public pressure lessened, the Ethier family was left doing the majority of the work themselves, of course with community support. Police ignored countless eyewitness testimonies that could have led them closer to finding Melanie, figuring out what happened to her, or who took her. She has been missing longer than I have been alive, and yet, no one has a solid idea of what happened to her.
