Welcome to the Not A Grayman Podcast, where your host, RK Gray, speaks with her unique network of professionals who have stepped out of the shadows and are NOT "Graymen". Among them is today's guest, Jessica Buchanan, a former humanitarian aid worker whose life took a harrowing turn in 2011 when she and her Danish colleague Poul Thisted were kidnapped near Galcayo, Somalia while working for the Danish Demining Group (DDG). Held captive by Somali pirates for 93 days under brutal conditions, Jessica’s ordeal ended in a dramatic midnight rescue by U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six.
On January 25, 2012, President Obama announced he had authorized the daring mission—known as Operation Octave Fusion—which had been carried out two days earlier, resulting in Jessica’s safe recovery with no American casualties.
Jessica’s journey is one of extraordinary resilience, survival, and strength. Since her rescue, she has become a highly sought-after speaker, New York Times Bestselling author, and is passionate about helping women publish their stories through her boutique publishing firm, Soul Speak Press.
