Hi everyone! I’m Kellia Kaen. I’m fighting for the innocence of kids. I’m just an average kid looking for a good, wholesome podcast. I stumble across Forever Ago. It’s a really good podcast. Of course, it has its flaws, but they all do. When I discovered Forever Ago, the latest episode was released in December of 2018. It makes sense that I, like many of you, was really excited when on May 18, 2022, four years later, Forever Ago announced that it would be returning on June 1 of that year. However, I was sorely disappointed. The first few episodes were fine, with no blatant agenda. I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t the same as the old Forever Ago. I quickly learned why. Within the first five episodes of season two, the agenda was obvious. They weren’t trying to hide it anymore. It didn’t matter what the topic was, Joy and her team somehow managed to make every single episode about the problems with white people and the holiness of black people, who were disadvantaged. If I told you that I had just finished listening to a podcast about mac-n-cheese that focused on race, you would probably be a little confused. What does a traditional American food have to do with racism? Seemingly nothing, but Joy worked it in. I am a big history buff. I love it. It is fascinating. Hang on, let me rephrase that. I love TRUE history. I don’t enjoy fabrications and blatant lies that "fit in" with history. That is why I am partially so angry about Forever Ago decision to go woke. We all deserve to hear the truth, not a lie that makes Joy Dolo feel good about herself. Ever since I can remember, I’ve been learning about all kinds of history and making a point to read all I can about it. I have a very clear understanding of many points of the past. However, not everyone does. So if you know nothing about former times and historical events and then listen to Forever Ago, your perception of history will be very warped. You will come to believe, as so many do now, that if you are white, you are evil and shouldn’t be alive. That is so sad. Joy, I am specifically talking to you. What you are doing is incredibly wrong and inappropriate. It is not fair for you to give innocent children a twisted view of their history and where they come from. That is so sad. First of all, let me quickly address something: Yes, I am a teenager. No, this is not creepy. I have younger siblings that used to listen to the podcast, and I did too! We loved it. They are not teenagers! Also, Forever Ago bills itself as a podcast for the WHOLE FAMILY… not just kids. To alblack16: I’m here! And I’m still in this. To BobaTea20: Thank you! I fully agree. To Madam B <3: I’m glad that you have found the truth! I’m glad that even though you were hurt, you discovered the truth. I hope I’ve helped you as well. To Peter rabbit 121: I am not a creep! Name calling doesn’t help anything anyway. I am not old either! (lol just because I’m older than 12 doesn’t make me old) I don’t hate anyone. I can dislike the sin and the wrongdoing, but I love everyone. Why? Because you, along with everyone else, are created in the image of God. If He loves you, I do too. :) Kellia
