18: Chapter 17 | See Us with Benzii Diaz

Survivor's Guide to True Crime

Get ready to feel some feelings this week. Although for Kara, the feelings are mostly nausea. Pregnancy is kicking her butt this time around so the vibes while Kim and Kara play catch up are rather relaxed. Updates on former guests Avremi Zippel and Michael Rourke are on tap as well as SGTC making a pretty cool ethical true crime top ten list.

Benzii Diaz joins Kim and Kara to talk about her experiences as a child and how they impacted her into adulthood. Still early in her recovery journey, Benzii's revelations throughout this raw interview offer a unique look at the oscillating feelings survivors go through on a daily basis.

Benzii Diaz is a survivor of domestic minor sex trafficking. Today, she is a thriving advocate, influencer, and businesswoman. Benzii has dedicated her endeavors to breaking the molds and stigmas of what a survivor is "supposed to be". She has testified at the Pennsylvania State Senate, coordinated drives for the youth and homeless, and has worked with celebrities. Her efforts over the past 6 years have been nationally recognized and she has been deemed one of the most influential women in the tri-state area all before the age of 30.
