If you don't think the Nashville shooting this week had anything to do with Jazz Jennings, the LGBTQ or what have you, think again! The shooter was LGBTQ trangender FtM, that was frustrated over her parents rejecting her transgender life and TN's recent banning of transitioning children. She open fired at a CHRISTIAN school, Christianity is something the LGBTQ and the left have villianized and said needs to be attacked and it happened. Jazz is innocent in the shooting and did not incite violence, but the US has been fighting against drag book hours, and transitioning children. Jazz - the youngest child to undergo transition medication was essentially an eperiment. In her last episode of I Am Jazz - Season 8 - she admitted she regrets her transition as she never feels right. Transing her at such a young age forced her to undergo 4 major bottom surgeries to fix the issue, she was not happier as they say, her mental health declined and it pretty much validated what the state of TN was saying when they banned transitioning on children and drag shows outside of a club. So her results and the outcry from parents is causing a movement - politically with laws to protect our children. All this and more in this episode of It's Emma's World

On this episode we talk with Actor and Producer Armando Gutierrez. Armando was born in Cuba and came to the United States where he pursued his acting career. He's been seen in various films such as "Walt Before Mickey", "The Little Mermaid" and now he has his new movie Bezos: The Beginning which just hit Amazon Prime in January 2023. This is Armando's second time on our show and we are so pleased to have him back. In 2018 I met Armando as well as the entire cast of "The Little Mermaid" at the Tampa Theatre for the premier. What was most surreal was watching the movie next to the actors as we watched it together. It was my first red carpet and I made some amazing friends including Armando. https://itsemmasworld.com

My interview with Kevin Kurse was an absolute facinsating one. Kevin talks about how the biblical references in the book of Reveliation are coming true. Revolution talks about the end of the world and the second coming of Christ. We go into how the COVID vaccination was a test for the real mark of the beast and the standards pushed upon us for the best interest of public safety, was simply a way to gauge how well the people would comply with a totalitarian regimine setting the stage for a NWO. Sadly we failed that test. You won't want to miss this eye opening interview. Do you think he's right? It's up for interpretation.

On this episode I tackle the ongoing outcry on the new live action Little Mermaid where Ariel was cast as a African woman. I talk about my stance and try to show each side what the other one sees, and why the outcry from the white people isn't #racist #bigoted rather they feel it's culture appropriation and I bring the idea to life that "WHAT IF: Tiana, Mulan, Moana, Princess Elena, or those characters were remade white... or what about a political figure like Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Ghandi ...reimagined white... Then a new study out of a university in New England states that gender dysphoria doesn't exist. That basically deems transgender people irrelevant and their experience non existent but supports the gender fluid people. Is this a reality or rather a bogus study to push an agenda or narrative.

Lakshmi Devy, doctor-turned-actor-turned-filmmaker who wrote, directed, and stars in “When The Music Changes” – an independent feature executive produced by Emmy Award winner John Turturro. The film has a following in India and is now making its U.S. debut on iTunes and YouTube. In light of the overturned Roe V. Wade, for every iTunes rental over the next three months, a portion of the feature’s profits will be donated to Planned Parenthood. “When The Music Changes” centers around a young beautiful Indian American woman (Lakshmi Devy) who finds happiness through her work as a documentarian and spending time with friends in her hometown in India. Trapped in an abusive relationship with her lover, albeit more emotionally than physically, she finds it difficult to accept that it is abuse. An unfortunate incident shakes her to the core, making her think about the relationship and finally take a call regarding her self-respect. The message is clear - every 16 minutes, a woman is raped in India.
