Afterlives: Marsha P. Johnson - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast brings Layleen’s spirit to life so listeners can hear all aspects of her life and death. Thank you for not only giving up the story of a beautiful woman, her life and her family, but also bringing lessons to learn from her inexcusable death. This is not just a tragic story. The podcast brings hope. Solutions surface through the work of Layleen’s family to work for bail reform, ending solitary confinement, exposing how trans people are especially vulnerable in prison, mental health services for incarcerated people, and the need to shut down Riker’s Island.

This podcast tells a very important story. Raquel and the production team make this compelling story interesting to listen to, and shed light on the problematic ways of rikers jail. Looking forward to listening to the rest of the season.

Was hooked in the first 30 seconds. The storytelling is beautiful and tackles such an important subject with grace. Looking forward to hearing more!

I was hooked by the first episode. Such a compelling and important story about a precious life that ended much too soon due to the systems that failed her. I can’t wait to learn more about Layleen’s life and legacy.
