Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality. We hope you will listen.

Dr. Latanya Goodloe is a Serial Entrepreneur, Activist, Mentor, Motivational Speaker, Wife, Mother and Grandmother. As she says, “Being incarcerated for 48 months opened my eyes to the needs of women and children dealing with incarceration. I vowed I would leave and be a positive role model for other women like myself. Having firsthand experience allows me to have first-hand insight and expertise to the needs of the women and children we will assist. I believe most people deserves a second chance and can succeed with the proper tools and life skills.”
Ladies That Lean is a non-profit organization founded in 2021 that offers incarceration prevention and society reentry support for Women in the KC Metro area. Ladies that LEAN offers an array of resources in-house so as to ensure that each individual woman is extolled and valued in this program.
Esmie Tseng is the Communications Director of the ACLU of Kansas. In this role, Esmie plans and executes a broad vision for communications to further the affiliate’s goals, creating public education strategies for the success of the affiliate’s programmatic work. Before joining the ACLU, Esmie managed communications, events, and administration at Missourians to Abolish the Death Penalty (MADP).
Evan Altman started as a Voting Rights Organizer with the ACLU of Kansas in December of 2023 and he is leading the organizing efforts in Sedgwick and Wyandotte counties, while also leading the ACLU’s statewide voter registration program, geared towards informing Kansans with felonies of their right to vote.
On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society. Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.
