2. Cyntoia Brown

Welcome to Big Reputations!
Ever judge a person and it turns out you didn't have the whole story? Ever learn there was a lot more to a person's story than you first realized? Join us, Kimberly and Rebecca, as we separate the little lies from the Big Reputations!
In this episode, we will be discussing Cyntoia Brown, a now 33 year old woman, who was arrested for murder when she was only a 16 year old child. The jury did not agree with her plea of self-defense and she was convicted. While it may be unknown if she truly acted in self-defense, the fact is, she was a child forced into sex trafficking. Brown’s conviction and subsequent release has led her to speak out about the criminal justice system and work to change it.
Trigger warnings for domestic abuse, rape, and underage sex trafficking.

Welcome to Big Reputations!

In this episode we cover the one name that came up time and again when we explained the premise to our podcast: Monica Lewinsky. Join us as we discuss the ways in which the media portrayed Lewinsky, the nuanced information that revealed that there was more to the story than the media was letting on, and the problematic power-structure of the so-called relationship between Lewinsky and Clinton. Stick around to hear what Lewinsky is up to today and how she has turned things around and defined her own Big Reputation.
