American Juvenile: Cyntoia Brown
“Imagine at the age of 16 being sex-trafficked by a pimp named Kutthroat.” That was how the meme about Cyntoia Brown started. Cyntoia herself couldn’t believe it when she heard Kim Kardashian was tweeting about her. After a lifetime of being thought of as a bad kid—people were suddenly on her side?

Customer Reviews
Can’t believe I’m too late!
I just discovered this podcast after listening to an episode of a different podcast about Isabelle Goodwin. I listened to your episode and then listened to the episode about Violette Sazbo. Your writing, your editing, your pacing and your voice are all perfect. I will be binging all other episodes and hoping for your return!!
SO GOOD
I randomly came across this podcast after listening to Sinisterhood. I was bummed to see that the last episode was uploaded in 2021. So good! Please come back!
Love it
The entire podcast is gold! I love the voice and the narration! It is hard to find someone as good at speaking and doesn’t do the annoying “you know” and “uh um uh “ I want you back so badly.
