Fluid Truth

exploring equity in the justice system

about the podcast

Fluid Truth with attorney Shirley Skyers-Thomas is a collection of stories and conversations that attempt to answer the question: Is there equity in the justice system? 

Guests share their encounters with the justice system, and in hearing these stories, we are given a glimpse into another person’s truth, for just a moment.  We all have our own truth. It’s not absolute – it’s fluid.
