LATEST EPISODE: Crystal Mangum, a Former Exotic Dancer, has a Message for the Duke Lacrosse Players.

“Before watching Crystal Mangum’s interview, I encourage you to approach it with an open mind and heart.

As in most of my interviews, my goal was to see not just a person, but someone navigating an imperfect system. I wanted to understand how they persevere and the reasons behind their choices.

When I reached out to Crystal, she responded with a letter expressing her desire to participate and share something important. We filmed the interview at NCCIW on November 13th. I was struck by her openness and thoughtful honesty—qualities I found deeply relatable.

By the end, Crystal shared something significant and vulnerable, despite the risks involved. I admire her courage and hope you will too.” - Kat
