Dove is hosting True Texas Crime: The Significant Life of Angela Stevens , which explores the murder of a 16-year-old girl in Princeton, Texas, the small town where Dove grew up.

The series, which launches on July 18, will aim to shine a light on her story by exploring themes of justice, small towns protecting their own, and the lasting impact of violence against women. It will look at the effect it had on her family, friends, and the entire community.

Dove will unravel the complexities surround Stevens’ life and impact of her death on her friends and family. It will challenge  conventional narratives about female victims, aiming to spark conversations and inspire change in how society views and responds to acts of violence against women.
