Dr Annise Mabry

On January 9, my world imploded as my home was first hit with a blocked pipe that backed up into the ceiling and as the water ran over the electrical wiring, an electrical fire started in the foyer. As I moved my family to safety, I wasn't worried about the financial impact because I had homeowners insurance and they were going to take care of me.  HA! I was about as young and naive as the young lady who believes that her Prince Charming is going to ride in on a white horse and save her. Yes, I was that naive woman who believed that my insurance company was going to take care of me during my crisis.  Just like the young woman who is always disappointed when there is no Prince Charming, I was saddened, disillusioned, and jaded that State Auto, my home owner's insurance company was playing the "Vendor Game of Stacked Decks". As I spent the past three weeks talking to flooring experts and contractors, State Auto had a set price that they were going to pay for reconstruction and repairs.  Had I known that there was a stacked deck, I would have simply asked for the stacked deck but I thought we were all playing fair. The final blow came today when they told me that they were not going to pay to repair my ceiling joists. Silly, stupid, naive me...I thought this was a game of taking care of the homeowner. So this is that podcast--the one that every podcaster makes at some point that slams a company. And correction--I don't have 279,000 listeners--I have 297,633 PODCAST ADOVCATES who will share this story so that no one else has to feel this pain. This is THAT PODCAST where I am podcasting about what is real in my world at the moment. This is THAT PODCAST where my editing isn't perfect, my voice is about to crack and I am seconds away from crying.  THIS IS THAT PODCAST.  They stacked the deck and I lost. Thank you Jennifer and Gabriel Johnson for tonight's intro and outro music!

When people hear the name Reggie Jackson they usually think about a black man that hits home runs, not a white woman that tells jokes. Originally from Virginia, Reggie moved to Atlanta in 2005, and very quickly found her knack for making people laugh. Aside from performing stand-up, Jackson is also a member of the interactive sketch comedy group, Call Me Up. The path to comedy that David Young took may be an unusual one, if there is such thing as a usual path to comedy. Originally out of Virginia, David moved to Atlanta in 2011 to pursue his passions in film and sound engineering: behind the scenes of showbusiness. When he took a job running sound at a comedy club, he began to develop his ear for the timing and subject matter that led him to perform on stage. Drawing upon his experiences in international travel and the entertainment industry's hidden quirks, David flashes his unique perspective through the lens of his laid-back, cartoon-like voice. Tune in each Tuesday night as Reggie and Dave take on the tables of some of the hottest restaurants in Atlanta.

My niece, Elena Lundy, is my heart and she is currently in culinary school.  Earlier this week, she told me about a contest at her school that required her to post a photo of a recipe.  The winner would be chosen based on the number of LIKES the photo received.  Well, those of you who know me know that if there is one thing that I can do well is launch a very effective social media campaign? Why? Easy--it's because of YOU our Back2Us Radio listeners.  You all come through for us every time we have a social media request in a way that most people have yet to understand.  This is the link to my niece's photo:  [https://www.facebook.com/sndcoffee/photos/a.841363115907442.1073741831.146572308719863/841363802574040/?type=1&comment\_id=843617809015306&notif\_t=like](https://www.facebook.com/sndcoffee/photos/a.841363115907442.1073741831.146572308719863/841363802574040/?type=1&comment_id=843617809015306&notif_t=like) UPDATE: Thanks to all of the Back2Us Radio listeners, the school has since removed her photo from the contest; but, that's ok because I am building her a FB Fan Page so that everyone who supported her in the contest can continue to support her on her own page.   And this is why I have chosen to do a podcast about a man named Jeffrey Mentis who wrote a post accusing her of cheating.  You can see the entire dialogue under the picture. So listeners, let's show Jeffrey the TRUE power of Social Media and support my niece. Remember the game RED ROVER and how tightly we use to hold hands to prevent the outsider from breaking through? I'm asking all of you to be my niece's RED ROVER LINE right now.  "Stackin Money", the song featured in this episode was provided by Mimi Celese and Cadallic Jr. [http://coast2coastmixtapes.com/audiodetail.aspx?audioid=387399](http://coast2coastmixtapes.com/audiodetail.aspx?audioid=387399) Thank you Back2Us Radio Listeners for always supporting the underdogs in the world.  "The dream is free but will only be achieved when you harness the power of the hustle." ~~ Dr. Mabry

RE-BROADCAST -- PREVIOUSLY AIRED MAY 2014 Recently, Phyllis Schlafly appallingly implied that the reason sexual assault on college campuses is increasing is because too many women are now attending college. (1) Dangerous statements like these as well as more positive campaigns like No More (2)  tend to reinvigorate the very important conversation around sexual assault. One group of survivors that are often left out of this discussion is the trans\* community. On this episode of The Strong Stance we will speak to Nicole Armstead and Christa Heilman from the Network for Victim Recovery of D.C. about the resources for survivors of sexual assault in the DC area and the unique experiences of those that are trans\* and gender non-conforming. http://www.salon.com/2015/01/06/phyllis\_schlafly\_campus\_sex\_assault\_is\_on\_the\_rise\_because\_too\_many\_women\_go\_to\_college http://nomore.org

_Insurance fraud occurs when someone knowingly lies to obtain some benefit or advantage that they are not entitled to. The insurance company itself might commit insurance fraud by selling bad insurance policies or failing to pay valid claims._ _Mail Fraud is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. 1341. This makes it a Federal crime or offense for anyone to use the United States mail in carrying out a scheme to defraud._ The two teaching tips that I want you to take away today are (1) don’t go back and forth with your insurance company if their payout is ridiculously below industry standards low (like $3.19sq ft for Berber Carpet installed) just file a claim against your insurance company with the state insurance commissioner. Let the insurance company explain their logic to the insurance commissioner; and, (2) get a certified copy of your full policy. The renewal paperwork that the insurance company sends out to you when you renew your policy is simply the new forms and endorsements that have changed or been updated. This is not your full certified policy.    Please donate to our GoFund Me Fire and Water fundraiser that was created to help my family by two of our incredible podcast supporters: [http://www.gofundme.com/kazwtw](http://www.gofundme.com/kazwtw) If you are thinking of remodeling your home, please support these incredible businesses who have stepped up to help get my family back on our feet!
