The Women We Failed with Phalin & Firekeeper’s Daughter with Renee

Recently, Amanda Bynes’ and Britney Spears’ conservatorships have been a hot topic. What is a conservatorship? What is conservatorship abuse? Who do conservatorships affect the most? Today, Phalin will try to answer those questions with her Google law school accolades. Then Renee shares a review of one of her favorite books of 2021 so far, Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley.
