On this episode of Slauson Girl Speaks, I talk with Nenia Samayoa on our experiences growing up in foster care in Los Angeles. We actually had the same social worker in high school, while young girls and students at Inglewood High. Nenia, who is a mother and entrepreneur with her own catering company, recently held an event to make sure foster youth in L.A know they are seen and loved. We talk about why events like this are important to her and why it is important to give back as a former foster youth. We also provide tips and information to current foster youth in Los Angeles, especially those who are single mothers.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
