In this episode, we chat with Angela Derrick, former wife of 7M dancer James “B-Dash” Derrick. Angela recounts their initial pairing and eventual marriage within a cult-like environment, sharing the moment she realized she needed to leave. She discusses how her decision led to their divorce and her journey as a single parent. Angela also offers her perspective on the Dancing for the Devil documentary and its unsettling parallels to her own experiences.

Forgive Me For I Have Followed continues the exploration from Netflix’s hit Dancing for the Devil documentary series by delving deeper into the personal stories of those affected by Robert Shinn, Shekinah Church, and 7M Films. We will focus on the experiences of victims and their families, address urgent questions raised in the documentary, and gather insights from former members and dancers. Our goal is to uncover strategies for combating abuse and ensuring that controlling, cult-like communities are held accountable for their actions.
