Dr. Amie Harwick was a prominent marriage and family therapist in Los Angeles, California. Her ambition and innate desire to help people elevated her into the upper echelons of Hollywood society, and she built a thriving career and vibrant social life for herself. But behind the scenes, Amie had struggled for years with the looming threat of a man whose obsession ultimately manifested Amie's worst nightmares into her reality.

In the early hours of February 15th, 2020, after attending a Valentine's Day burlesque show with her friends, Amie Harwick was attacked in her Los Angeles home and ultimately succumbed to her injuries. Amie's story paints a picture of a brilliant, successful, confident woman who had built a beautiful life for herself, and highlights the importance of education about domestic violence and stalking, and how current laws do not strive to protect victims or prevent tragedy.

May 5th marks Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Awareness Day in remembrance of Hanna Harris, a Northern Cheyenne woman who was murdered on the reservation in 2013.

In honor of MMIWG Awareness Day, I am collaborating with a small business called Tarabusi Creek, where my friend Steph makes handmade soaps, candles, wax melts, body scrubs, and more. She has created two custom scents in the form of wax melts, and 50% of the sales from those select products will be donated to the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center.

In July 2013, a deeply rooted corruption reared its ugly head in the rural community of Love County, Oklahoma. It all started with a high speed police pursuit, and ended with the disappearance of two people in the backwoods of a small town.
Molly Miller and Colt Haynes have been missing from Love County, Oklahoma since July 8th, 2013. Molly was 17 years old at the time, and had just recently met and started spending time with 22 year old Colt Haynes. Their case is saturated in speculation and small town secrets, and obstructed by police corruption. After being passengers in a police pursuit, they fled the vehicle, and while the driver of the vehicle made it back home, Molly and Colt never emerged from those woods.
