About this episode

This episode features a story about Janet Lee, who was wrongfully accused of drug smuggling and the impact it had on her life.

This week, we bring you a special bonus episode from our friends at the podcast Ten Thousand Things with Shin Yu Pai. Janet Lee, a freshman at Bryn Mawr, was heading home for Christmas break when she was detained by the police for alleged drug smuggling. Janet wasn't carrying any drugs. But the treatment she received from the Philadelphia police department and from her own community would change her life forever. In this episode, Ten Thousand Things explores the pain of being accused of being someone you are not and fighting to reclaim the story that sets the record straight. Stay connected with us!
