Many may think this is just a book, however, this is taking place in Africa and other places around the world, even here in the United States, stated Frankie Hutton, who has also been on this show.

As an Indigo Forerunner, most of you know I am an Advocate for the Indigo Children and Adults; however, I am also an advocate for unjust actions around the world concerning all of our children and women.

Those of Indigo Energy are also warriors, and when we see injustice, we are here on the planet to assist.  I hope you will all welcome Tobe Levin on today’s show.
