My guest is Amanda Blackwood. She is a survivor of human trafficking who is now an accomplished artist and author, public speaker, podcast host, and trauma recovery mentor. Despite the numerous challenges she faced, she was able to emerge stronger with the help of her faith. Amanda has shared her story on various platforms such as international summits and radio programs and has published over a dozen books. Her two main podcasts seek to provide insights into healing from trauma. Always looking for a way to help, a portion of every book Amanda sells will go to help fight human trafficking.
Amanda has spoken on a multitude of stages. She has been interviewed by the Chicago Tribune, sold artwork internationally, been a keynote speaker at international summits, talked on multiple radio programs, and published over a dozen books. She also launched two podcasts (see https://growthfromdarkness.com/podcasts) - one that focuses on interviewing other authors of trauma, and the other that discusses the long term consequences of trauma and how to fight back for a better life.

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.
