First, a bit of background . . .
"Donna Lamb is a New York City-based writer, journalist, and social activist. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, in December 1948, she moved to Manhattan at age 18 to pursue acting school. To fund her education, she briefly turned to underground sex work and marijuana distribution . . . After arriving in New York, she was recruited into Aesthetic Realism, a high-control group and cult where she spent over three decades. During her time in the group, she faced severe psychological manipulation, including being pressured into anti-gay conversion therapy. After secretly protesting and eventually escaping the group, she rebuilt her life and now advocates against cults online."
Currently, on Insta she is a trending raconteur and shares captivating stories about her younger days.
Even better, her online narratives often have useful guidance for readers coping with the current landscape of scams, fads and trends of all manner . . . Here's a quick quote from her latest work:
"With AI, propaganda has now reached a scale and power beyond what we’d ever dreamed of. None of us knows where it’s going—or how far. We must be more skeptical than ever, questioning our own biases and desires for a particular worldview. Our critical thinking skills must override our own emotions. This is very difficult. But it’s worth it."
