Created by Lemonada Media and sponsored by the Sozosei Foundation, Call Declined is a four-part podcast series that follows the story of Kamisha Thomas and Aimee Wissman, two extraordinary women who fell through a frayed safety net due to the criminalization of mental illness, substance use, and poverty. Thanks to their resilience, friendship, and the power of creativity, they survived the grim walls of the Dayton Correctional Institution and created The Returning Artists Guild.
