I am writing to ask that you please help make this happen.  I know that the idea of a government commission focused on helping boys and men sounds strange at first. When you look at the statistics, and you hear the real stories of struggle, though, it becomes clear that a commission on boys and men is indeed warranted and needed. Its work and recommendations will help amplify ongoing efforts to improve outcomes around education, homelessness, incarceration, suicides, mental and physical health, drug and alcohol abuse, family cohesion, and other important issues.  If possible, I strongly recommend checking out the work of Richard Reeved and his American Institute for Boys and Men, along with his book Of Boys and Men. I also want to point out that Democratic governors in multiple states have recently used their State of the State addresses to talk about the importance of supporting boys and men – including governors Wes Moore (Maryland), Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan), and Ned Lamont (Connecticut).  Thank you for your open heart to care for all Washingtonians, including boys and men, and for looking at what role you can play in bringing about the creation of a Washington State Commission on Boys and Men.  For more information on the grassroots advocacy campaign to establish a Washington State Commission on Boys and Men visit WABoysandMen.org and WIBM.us. — Check out my foundation, Higher Hope: Higher Hope Foundation: https://www.higherhope.org/  Shop my Merch! https://kendallrae.shop This episode is sponsored by: Hiya Quince Nutrafol - promo code: KENDALLRAE Check out Kendall's other podcasts: The Sesh & Mile Higher Follow Kendall!

Husband Charged With Her Murder, yet His Wife Is Still Missing… Where Is Mamta Kafle Bhatt?

After opening up about her abuse at the hands of her husband, Naresh, 28-year-old Mamta Kafle Bhatt disappeared. She had expressed concern for their new baby, who Naresh kept threatening to give away… so it didn’t make sense when Naresh started claiming that she had left the baby behind and ran away to “either New York or Texas.” Though her body still has not been located, DNA from blood found on a handheld saw of Naresh’s pointed her murder at him.
