Episode 178 : Nikieta and Asha
Episode 178
*Content Warning : This episode deals with heavy topics such as religious trauma, mentions of child abuse, trafficking and SA allegations, and domestic violence. Please use caution when listening.*
Nikieta and Asha were both members of ICOC, or The International Churches of Christ - a dangerous religious cult with ties to child abuse and running a religious pyramid scheme. Both were young women entering college when they were recruited just 8 years apart, in eerily similar stories. Now on the other side of deconstruction, they are working though religious trauma, finding themselves again and surprisingly owe the eye opening realization to a familiar cause.
