Who am I?

Navigating Advocacy is a true crime podcast that seeks to use the power of storytelling to raise awareness about unsolved crimes and bring justice to victims and their families through action-oriented advocacy. Hosted by Melissa and Whitney, who themselves started as true crime enthusiasts and have since become passionate advocates, their podcast aims to inspire action and promote positive change in the criminal justice system. Their mission is to provide a platform for victims and their families to share their stories and be heard while offering practical guidance on how listeners can make a difference in their communities. In each episode, they explore a different unsolved case in depth, highlighting key details and potential leads in an effort to spark new interest and help advance the investigation. This subject means so much to us, we have always been interested in true crime but want to go about it in an empathic and ethical way.
