In the late 90s and early 2000s, it may have even been one of the most popular stores in your local mall. However, Gen Z hasn’t embraced the famous jewelry shop, and for good reason. Their makeup recalls for asbestos, policies on ear piercings, and junk jewelry is the stuff of the past. Is there a comeback for Claire’s in the future, or are they doomed for good?Connect With Me: https://linktr.ee/iilluminaughtii’Sources: https://justpaste.it/bx10xWriters/Researchers/Helpers:Ali Z-BThis episode was edited and mixed by:G.

Though you may have grown up with some of these books, they continue to get released today, warping enemies-to-lovers tropes from Trump supporters and liberals. Why publish these stories at all?Connect With Me: https://linktr.ee/iilluminaughtii’Sources: https://justpaste.it/cuxbeWriters/Researchers/Helpers:Ali Z-BThis episode was edited and mixed by:G.

While alive, she was bombarded by the constant pressure of fans, producers, and virtually everyone else to constantly “perform”. To make their money, or make them happy. Even in death, she is under insurmountable pressure to constantly sell. Over the years her image has been twisted and turned to represent whatever version of her will make the most money. She gets no rest even in death. Connect With Me: https://linktr.ee/iilluminaughtii’Sources: https://justpaste.it/689daWriters/Researchers/Helpers:Jess HubbertThis episode was edited and mixed by:G.

The two are more than toxic together, but they can result in abuse, downplaying the harm of children and members, and fierce manipulation and control tactics. The International Church of Christ is a prime example of this.Connect With Me: https://linktr.ee/iilluminaughtii’Sources: https://justpaste.it/9zp1xWriters/Researchers/Helpers:Ali Z-BThis episode was edited and mixed by:G.

Out of seemingly nowhere, everyone seemed to be buying souvenirs to stop a war criminal they had likely never heard of before the video emerged. But, while some patted themselves on the back for their newfound activist spirit, others criticized the movement and the creators of the viral moment in history. Soon, concepts like aid to Africa, the white savior complex, and more were under fire. Were these types of campaigns helping, or just doing more harm? Connect With Me: https://linktr.ee/iilluminaughtii’Sources: https://justpaste.it/50vkwWriters/Researchers/Helpers:Jess HubbertThis episode was edited and mixed by:G.
