Are you an Activist who is constantly helping impact your community and the world that we live in? Have you ever had a drive within you that is so profound that you couldn't back away from what is calling you forward? Join me in welcoming the amazing Javier Muñoz (Actor most known for playing Usnavi in In the Heights on Broadway and Alexander Hamilton in Hamilton on Broadway), as we dive headfirst into how he started his journey on becoming an Activist and an Actor, what it means for him to be a part of a movement of making the world equitable and fair and how he is constantly striving to fight as an advocate for the LGBTQIA+ and HIV AIDS communities.
Listen in as Javier talks about his path of finding his calling as an Actor, how acting found him again after several attempts of giving it up, how he overcame financial instability in his early years, how he lived and relived the one place where he closed the big fat book that opened during the height of his battle of testing positive for HIV AIDS, and so much more. If that isn’t healing through the arts, we don’t know what is!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
