Guest Occupation: Retired 24-Year Deputy Border Patrol Agent, Author, Speaker, Advocate
Guest Biography:

J.J. Carrell recently retired from the United States Border Patrol after a 24-year career as a Deputy Patrol Agent in Charge in San Diego Sector. Carrell brings a different view on immigration and what is now transpiring on this forgotten and unknown place called the border.

Carrell’s unique perspective is from years as a frontline Journeyman Agent to a Senior Leader in the United States Border Patrol. Carrell uses his experience to articulate who has created this disastrous situation on the border, how these policies are being enacted, and why these intentional policies are being implemented in his Amazon “Best Seller” books, INVADED: The Intentional Destruction of the American Immigration System and TREASON: The Biden Administration’s Strategic and Malicious Destruction of America’s Sovereignty.

Carrell has released two documentaries, WHAT IS TREASON? #TRAFFICKED, and WHAT IS TREASON? #INVADED. These documentaries expose the traitors that run our government, the evil of child sex trafficking, and the peril the United States of America now finds herself.

Guest Occupation: A certified chef with a passion for the farm-to-table movement.
Guest Biography:

It all started with a quest for the freshest food.

I’m the co-founder of the GrowOya. I’m a certified chef with limited time to spare, but a passion for the farm-to-table movement. Learning about food systems while on the Sustainability Council at the University of British Columbia, led me to want to find the most efficient, sustainable way to grow my own food, while living in a state of "time poverty" (too many things to do and not enough time to do them) that so many of us seem to be experiencing. From this, Growoya was born!

I believe that growing a garden is the greatest act we can do for healthy communities, healthy bodies, and a greener, more sustainable planet.

Guest Biography:

Dominika Laureto (maiden name Liwinska) was born in Poland and grew up in a communist country. Her family was poor, along with plenty of other families who were also struggling. She said that her family had become conditioned to be strong-minded because they did not know there was a better way to exist. 

“As children, we had to be very creative just to survive, and we found ways to find happiness. We were melting sugar in a pan to make candy and other treats that we didn’t have access to,” Dominika shared. 

 After Poland became a democratic country, her family was introduced to quality products and services that Europeans and Americans took for granted. Still, they remained in a low-income bracket and couldn’t afford to splurge on this new way of life. When Liwinska went to college in the United States, she only had $500 in her pocket. Her story is remarkable. In Poland, she graduated number one academically in high school. She received a college scholarship and decided halfway through to finish her studies in the United States.


“I came here for my American dream with nothing but five hundred dollars and a winning attitude. I learned to survive no matter what and never gave up,” Dominika reflected.
