Nominations - Women Changemakers for Women's History Month

International Women's Day is behind us, but Women's History Month is ongoing. Each and every one of us is making history every single day, not always on some grand scale, but in some way. Every decision we make sends out ripples that shape us and impact those in our orbit (in our physical communities and our online ones). As an executive coach, I've had the profound (profound!) privilege of sitting across from some remarkable women in coaching sessions, on my podcast, and in my community. I am most grateful not for their many accomplishments but for their energyprint (a word I may have invented, though I doubt I'm the first... think: a fingerprint, but made entirely of your energy, your presence, your way of leaving a mark on the day, on the world). Today I want to spotlight a few of those women. Women who show up and are present and put their unmistakable stamp on everyone around them. Obviously, this is not an exhaustive list. And if you know a woman who is proudly making history (or herstory...) in your community, I want to hear about her. Drop a name in the comments, gently or FEROCIOUSLY. Who is she? What do you most appreciate about her? So, without further ado, incredible women, in no particular order, except that they're all absolutely awesome (and most have been guests on my podcast, "My Life is a Typo"): ① Maria M. Trusa | Author, Entrepreneur, Public Speaker, Advocate | Founder of #YoDigoNoMas (I Say No More) & Forgive to Live | Fighting tirelessly against the sexual abuse of children ② Dr. Marsha Gordon | President/CEO, The Business Council of Westchester | Super-connector and builder of our regional business community in NY ③ Sivani Babu | Co-Founder & CEO Hidden Compass | Award-Winning Photographer & Journalist | Volunteer / First Responder | Former Public Defender ④ Jessie Krebs | Season 9 of ALONE on the History Channel (A+E Global Media) | MasterClass Instructor | Wilderness Survival Skills Teacher ⑤ Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, The Money Coach® | Founder, Financial Influencer Network (FIN) | Financial Expert, Speaker & Bestselling Author ⑥ Jolanta Olechowski, Ph.D. | Educational Leader | Instructional Facilitator | Curriculum Developer | Serving the Adult Immigrant Communities of NYC ⑦ Daphne Valcin, MCC, ELI-MP | Executive Coach | Keynote Speaker | Leadership Trainer | CEO & Founder ⑧ Sandra Nam | Co-Founder & CEO Qiqo | Helping associations generate revenue with AI-powered marketplaces | Proud Veteran Spouse ⑨ Natalia Sanyal | Humanity-first marketer helping you sound like yourself, sell like hell, and harm less ⑩ Na'ilah Amaru, MPA, MPP, MS | Principal Strategist | Advocacy & Policy | Combat Veteran | Leading High-Impact Coalitions & Campaigns ⑪ This one is reserved for you. Yes, you. If you're a woman, what drives you? What keeps you going when the days get hard? What are you most proud of? (And, of course, major gratitude to the women in my family without whom I would not be alive or the person that I am today.)

Expert Guests - Oregon Cultic Control & Trafficking

Seeking collaboration or guidance I’m Angela, the host of Squirrel Brain Stories. It was hard telling my story because I know there were so many systemic failures. I feel a calling to do more to help the innocence our most vulnerable. My pain will not be in vain. The Mission: I am a survivor of a criminal operation in Oregon that masqueraded as a religious organization. What began as a personal journey to tell my story for my own healing has evolved into a full-scale investigative podcast. As I have spoken out, a network of other survivors has come forward to share abuses, revealing a web of crimes that local, state, and federal authorities have consistently failed to prosecute. I am seeking Expert Guests to help me dismantle the "why" and "how" behind the institutional failures that allowed this group to flourish. I am looking for guests to provide analysis on the following Core Investigative Topics: Topic 1: Psychological & Human Rights The Issues: The use of coercive control, "brainwashing," and spiritual abuse to facilitate Human Smuggling and Trafficking between Mexico, Oregon, and Hawaii. The Abuse: Prearranged "sham marriages" used as a tool for immigration fraud and psychological leverage. The silencing of victims through isolation and relocation. Who I Need: Specialists in Cultic Studies, Coercive Control Experts, or Human Rights Advocates. Topic 2: Legal, Judicial & Extradition Law The Issues: Multiple failures in the "Security Release" and extradition systems. The Negligence: \\\* Bail Scandals: An ex-member (Juan) with a Mexican warrant for attempted homicide (molotov cocktail attack) and an Oregon Rape warrant was granted $500k bail twice, allowing him to flee to Mexico twice. Extradition Gaps: Public promises by officials (e.g., Mace Winters) to extradite the leader "Memo" that were never legally filed or executed. Who I Need: Criminal Procedure Attorneys, Extradition Specialists, or Judicial Watchdogs. Topic 3: Child Welfare & Education Oversight The Issues: The "Homeschooling Void" and the failure of protective services. The Negligence: \\\* The Silenced 16: A group of 16 individuals whose cases were never pushed to a jury because law enforcement failed to follow up. Educational Neglect: The school board’s failure to verify the education or safety of children, effectively allowing them to disappear into forced labor. Interstate Transportation: The movement of a minor across state lines for marriage and sexual activity (Mann Act violations). Who I Need: Child Welfare Policy Experts, Education Service District (ESD) Analysts, or Victims' Rights Advocates. Topic 4: Financial Forensics & White-Collar Crime The Issues: Money laundering and the use of "Zombie" entities. The Abuse: \\\* Personal Funneling: A "stay-at-home" leader (Memo) funneling $20,000+ per month into personal accounts while his spouse worked only part-time. Non-Profit Fraud: The illegal use of a dissolved/closed 501(c)(3) to acquire a vast real estate portfolio and shield forced labor funds from the IRS. Who I Need: Forensic Accountants or White-Collar Crime Investigators. Topic 5: Law Enforcement & Public Safety Policy The Issues: The failure to "connect the dots" across multiple criminal cases and the exploitation of registry loopholes. The Negligence: \\\* Notification Gaps: A Level 1 sex offender residing 0.1 miles from a school due to Washington’s restrictive notification laws (RCW 4.24.550). Investigative Silence: The failure of local police to pursue leads, interview survivors, or investigate the "Silenced 16."

Local Sources - AI Surveillance & Privacy in Public Infrastructure

Working on a journalism project about AI & privacy, anyone have stories or thoughts to share? I'm a local student working on a journalism project focused on AI, mass surveillance, and privacy , specifically looking at how quickly AI is being integrated into public infrastructure (OpenAI/pentagon deal, facial recognition, predictive policing, data collection, smart city tech, etc.) and whether our laws and regulations are keeping up with the pace of that change. I think AI can have a lot of benefits but the rollout is happening faster than governments can meaningfully study the risks or put guardrails in place. I'd love for this piece to include a local perspective since I go to college locally. I'd love to hear from anyone who: Has had a personal experience where they felt surveilled or like their data was used in ways they didn't fully consent to Works in a field (law enforcement, healthcare, education, tech, retail) where AI tools are being adopted and has thoughts on the process Has strong opinions — for or against — about how fast AI is moving into everyday life Just has a perspective on privacy in the digital age that they think deserves to be heard If you're open to chatting, feel free to comment or send me a DM. I'm happy to keep things anonymous if you'd prefer, just let me know. This is a student project, so nothing will be published without your knowledge and consent. Thank you all!
