Twisted Words: Intro 1: From Kings to Criminals

Host Connie Morris explores how language has been twisted across history to rewrite identity, power, and public perception. Using the example of "negus" and drawing from media, education, politics, and criminal justice, this episode reveals how words once tied to royalty and honor became tools of shame and criminalization.

Listeners are invited to question familiar narratives, learn the lost histories behind common terms, and consider the real consequences of the words we hear and use every day.
