Queen Karizma (Karizma Speaks) explains why she finally wrote her memoir after surviving Israel United in Christ, detailing harassment, public shaming, and the long, re-traumatizing process of reclaiming her voice.

The episode covers her job conflict with IUIC, the smear campaigns and stalking she endured, how she identified IUIC as a destructive cult using the BITE model, and the release details for Tales from the Cult on August 31.

Tales From The Cult is a powerful podcast and YouTube series created by Gina Blue (also known as Karizma Speaks on YouTube), a former member of the controversial religious group Israel United in Christ (IUIC).

Israel United in Christ (IUIC) is a Black-founded, Hebrew Israelite group that teaches Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans are the true descendants of the biblical Israelites. A retired NYPD detective leads IUIC, and it has been widely criticized for its exclusionary and extremist beliefs, including its refusal to allow White individuals or those not listed on their 12 Tribes chart to congregate.

In this episode of Tales From The Cult, Karizma shares her firsthand experience inside IUIC, describing what she perceived as religious, mental, physical, and verbal abuse by leaders and loyal members. After leaving the group, she became the target of an organized smear campaign launched by IUIC itself, which has included years of harassment, defamation, and online attacks.
