025: Amari’s Story: A Mother’s Fight Against Filicide Pt. 2

In this episode Hope Hooton interviews Nakesa Sineath, who shares about losing her firstborn son to filicide, when she was 19. Nakesa recounts becoming a teen mom, Amari’s father’s inconsistency and manipulation, and earlier warning signs after Amari returned from his father’s care ill with walking pneumonia. In 2015, after months of no contact, she allowed Amari’s father to have him for two weeks; Amari cried at the handoff, she was prevented from speaking to him, and he was killed before his scheduled return. Nakesa remembers Amari’s gentle, loving personality and gets into the work she has done since to raise awarness and help make change. Follow Nakesa Sineath:Instagram - (2) InstagramFacebook - (14) FacebookYouTube - Nakesa Sineath - YouTubeGet your copies here:The Act Of Filicide: The Amari Barnhill Story: Barnhill, Nakesa: 9781979470988: Amazon.com: BooksHeaven Didn't Wait: Grieving, Surviving & Healing Post The Loss Of A Child: Barnhill, Nakesa: 9781077491656: Amazon.com: BooksBoldJourney:Reclaiming Voice Through Grief: Nakesa Sineath on Activism, Healing, and Honoring Amari – Bold Journey MagazineConnect with Hope Hooton:Email: [email protected]: https://www.instagram.com/hope_in_the_pain/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hope.in.the.painYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HopeinthepainWebsite: voicesagainstfilicide.odoo.com Support & Subscribe:If you found this episode meaningful, please subscribe, leave a review, and share this podcast to amplify the stories of those who can no longer speak for themselves.Voices Against Filicide Merch Shop:https://momcast-productions.myspreadshop.com/The Rowan Project:https://therowanproject.org/Production Credits:Written, Researched, and Hosted by: Hope HootonProduced & Edited by: Rachel HollowayA Momcast ProductionVoices Against Filicide is a part of Momcast Production LLC.
