Episode Eighty One - Suzanna is shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses

"How do you get kicked out of church?" These are the words of Suzanna's brother as he tried to wrap his mind around her shunning. Her journey starts as a 14 year old girl with two real options to get out of her abusive home, joining a local gang or getting involved with Jehovah's Witnesses. The choice she made would lead to decades of trying to make that choice work. All while living a life outside of that decision as she went back and forth between the choice she made so young and the life she really wanted to live. The song chosen by Suzanna to represent her story is La Vida Es Un Carnaval by Celia Cruz.
