Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, where we explore a deeper understanding of the humanity,

value, intellect, and creativity of women.

I'm your host, Erin Kunkel.

And I'm your co-host, Sarah Stone Street.

Our guest is Virginia Prodon, and she is an international human rights attorney and a speaker and an author and an allied attorney for Alliance Defending Freedom, who we had Kristen Wagner on our podcast, who is the vice president of Alliance Defending Freedom.

So our listeners are definitely

aware of that group but she tells her incredible story in her book saving my assassin which we highly

recommend and we know our listeners are going to want to get your book especially after they hear

your story so virginia thank you so much for being on the podcast with us today.

Thank you so very much.

And thank you for what you are doing for your listener, changing lives and encouraging them,

special during this time.

Well, Virginia, when Erin and I read your book, it's almost the epitome of a strong

woman in our categories because as our listeners will see through your story, you saw the time

in place that God has positioned you in and you were faithful even when it was hard.

And so we want to give our listeners a little bit of a backstory.

So tell us where you grew up and what was going on in your country.

The earliest memories maybe from the time that I was six years old.

I grew up in socialist, communist,

communist, Romania, and I do remember clearly seeing my parents and hearing them outside of

home, being politically correct, and doing everything that the government will ask them to do.

But I also watch them inside of our home
