A Remarkable Encounter of Investigation, Advocacy, and Shared Identity

In 2013, amidst the peak of her esteemed career as the host of Our America on the Oprah Winfrey Network, special correspondent of CNN, and former co-host of “The View,” the renowned journalist Lisa Ling graced the stage at Green River Community College in Auburn, Washington. Jenette graduated from Green River and couldn’t have been prouder to welcome Lisa Ling to her alma mater. This event became an extraordinary meeting point for Lisa and the Vance Twins – Jenette and Janine – who were about to embark on an awe-inspiring journey of shared passion and purpose.
