My true crime obsession began as a young girl both witnessing and living the effects of
poverty, racism, and sexism. I am one of nine children with a complex family tree that needs a
board with lots of red string to fully understand. To further compound the issues, we are a
biracial family trying to navigate growing up in a less than accepting Conservative Red-leaning State.
After my parents divorce, my mother raised five of us on less than 30,000 dollars a year, which
lead to many of my siblings making regrettable choices to survive. These choices greatly
impacted them, our family structure, and inadvertently me. I now strive to protect others from going
through the same situations through education, understanding, and advocacy.
