True Crime with a Purpose: From Child Sicario to Podcaster
Description:
Join me as I share my two-year journey with Miranda, a former child sicario recruited by the narco at 12, now struggling to reintegrate into society while overcoming past traumas. Discover the challenges of telling his silenced story and the surprising twist: Miranda becoming a podcaster, interviewing his family to find answers. Explore how "True Crime with a Purpose" turned podcasting into a tool for therapy and change, shedding light on the overlooked issue of children recruited by narcos. Our podcast, revealing harsh realities and seeking hope, became Mexico's second most-listened on Apple.
