THE WILL OF THE HUNTED - "The TWOTHcast"
Life after trauma is messy and painful. TWOTH hopes to create a safe space where you can process, heal, and rediscover your voice. We also want to open larger conversations around identity and mental health. This show is dedicated to all of our trans sisters and brothers whose stories are left unheard and without justice. TWOTH was created by AJ Nichols, a 26 year-old trans woman and producer who was victimized and nearly killed by a predator while attending college in Boston in 2019.©2025 AVERY JOAN FAUST LLC / THE WILL OF THE HUNTED™
