    Violence Against Black Women & Girls in Los Angeles with Sikivu Hutchinson

    In the wake of the recent and tragic deaths of two models, Maleesa Mooney and Nichole (Nikki) Coats, a disturbing pattern of apathy and lack of urgency has emerged within law enforcement, shedding light on broader issues affecting Black women and girls in the city. Sikivu Hutchinson, founder of the Women's Leadership Project (WLP), says a disturbing trend exists, where Los Angeles law enforcement displays disinterest in solving cases involving violence against African-American women. She also emphasized the lack of urgency among local representatives, including Mayor Karen Bass, in addressing violence against Black women and girls in Los Angeles. The WLP is a feminist mentoring and civic engagement program for Los Angeles students.

    On this episode Slauson Girl Speaks with Kamilah Moore, Chair of The California Reparations Task Force, about her current role helping to study and develop a plan of reparations for African-Americans in the state of California. Kamilah Moore is a scholar and an attorney with a specialization in entertainment and intellectual property. As a law student, Moore contributed to human rights reports related to domestic and international human rights issues. While studying abroad at the University of Amsterdam, Moore wrote a master thesis exploring the intersections between international law and reparatory justice for the trans-Atlantic slave trade, chattel slavery, and their legacies. She earned a Juris Doctorate from Columbia Law School in New York City, a Master of Law degree in International Criminal Law from the University of Amsterdam, and a Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). We discuss the current proposals by the task force, their process of holding public hearings, how it will be determined who receives reparations, if and how reparations will ever be allocated to African-Americans, the history of slavery in California and so much more.

    Compton & L.A OG's on Gary Webb, Crack Cocaine, CIA/Contras's, Bloods, Crips & Shifting The Narrative

    On this episode of Slauson Girl Speaks I have the opportunity to interview two OG's from Compton and Los Angeles. Chico Brown and Melvin Farmer both grew up during the tumultuous times of the 70's and 80's and speak directly to the history and experiences of Black people in Compton and Los Angeles during these times.  The conversation touches on the Blaxploitation era of films and the impact this had on the way the Black community viewed themselves. The conversation also delves into the CIA sponsored crack/cocaine epidemic and how Chico, the defendant of Freeway Rick Ross, realized he was involved in a drug operation that exceeded way to the steps of the White House. The plan, revealed in an explosive series by Journalist Gary Webb, was to funnel drugs into inner city communities including South Central and Compton, and use these proceeds to fund U.S backed counter rebels in Nicaragua.  Thank you to our episode sponsors @edenscandyco and @cash4luv1s  If you need a home in Los Angeles, contact @agentsunnyjones :)

    Slauson Girl Speaks With Freeway Rick Ross on Snowfall, Crack Babies & South Central Los Angeles

    On this episode of Slauson Girl Speaks, I have a very personal conversation with Freeway Rick Ross, who is a notorious South Central, L.A kingpin from the 80's/90's crack era. We talk about FX's hit series Snowfall, life in South Central, Los Angeles through the decades for African-Americans, his life growing up and what led him to becoming a drug dealer.  Although he has done countless interviews on his life and court cases, this conversation is a little different. The former crack dealer speaks with a "crack baby" about the impacts of the crack era on the inner city community of South Central.

    Slauson Girl Speaks With Sheriff Candidate & Former Compton Police Eric Strong

    Eric Strong wants Alex Villanueva's role as Sheriff and he wants you to vote for him June 7. The Sheriff's Lieutenant sits down with me to discuss his career in law enforcement that spans almost 3 decades when Strong got his start working with (then) Compton Police Department in 1993. Some of the issues we touch on are the apathy that surrounds Black communities and our disconnect from local and national politics especially that of law enforcement. Strong speaks on issues he views as hindering to building community trust, his plans to address and eradicate gangs in the department, having a spouse who also works with the Sheriff's, and why he feels that he is the best to represent L.A County in one of the top positions in law enforcement.

    Slauson Girl Speaks With South Central Filmmaker & Director Jamal Shakir

    On this episode Slauson Girl speaks with Asim Jamal Shakir, who is a filmmaker, writer and director from South Central, Los Angeles. In 2009, his father was sentenced to 24 life sentences and he grew up with both of his parents incarcerated, so Jamal is all too familiar with our country's criminal justice system. Jamal took a different route however, as a college graduate who played football. He wrote and directed 'Land of No Pity' an 8-part series based loosely on the book of the same, written by Jamal's stepmother about life in South Central. Jamal uses his camera to maintain control of his own narrative and to help those trapped in inner city turmoil, to understand the source of their pain and the dysfunction we have come to normalize.  Jamal also owns a publishing and shipping company. Visit his shop in Los Angeles. 5066 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA @jamalshakir @goinpostalcandy
