On this week’s episode of She Thinks, we highlight National Human Trafficking Prevention Month to bring awareness to this ongoing issue not only globally but in the United States as well. Sheri Lopez joins to give her first-hand account of being groomed and trafficked as a girl. She bravely shares her story in order to prevent as many children as possible from walking down the same path she did. Sheri Lopez is the founder of the nonprofit Pearl at the Mailbox and a survivor of human trafficking. She was groomed and trafficked at the age of 15 in 1980, well before there was an “official” name for what was happening to her. She speaks boldly about her experience to educate Americans about the child grooming process so that people can understand what grooming is and how it happens. -- She Thinks is a podcast for women (and men) who are sick of the spin in today’s news cycle and are seeking the truth.

Brianna Howard joins She Thinks podcast to discuss the legacy of Edwin Drake, the first person to strike oil in America, and how his discovery has changed the lives of so many, especially in the state where it all happened—Pennsylvania. We also discuss how hard-working Americans in the energy industry are often denigrated by a media class that belittles their contributions and why it’s so important to fight state and federal policies and regulations that seek to destroy the ability to power Pennsylvania, the country, and the world.

On this week’s episode of She Thinks, Daniel Turner joins to discuss how the Biden administration’s green agenda is making America dependent on China. We focus on how the push to electrify our homes, vehicles, and many other areas of our lives is leading to China’s increasing dominance on the world stage. We also explore how China controls a large market share of the necessary minerals to build the renewable infrastructure while the Biden administration continues to restrict domestic oil production and mineral extraction—all of which is jeopardizing our national security.
