In 2012, a shooting near USC left 4 people injured—but no one killed. Despite this, Brandon Spencer, a young man from Inglewood, was sentenced to 40 years in prison. What makes his case even more complicated? He has always maintained his innocence. Just two months earlier, two foreign exchange students were tragically killed at USC, and the pressure to solve that case was mounting. Brandon's journey behind bars has been anything but easy. Over the last decade, he has worked to go from a level 4 to a level 2 prison, and he's spent that time working relentlessly to prove his innocence. Now, he's teamed up with the Innocence Project, hoping to get his case re-examined. I had the chance to speak with Brandon from prison, where he shared his story.

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 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.

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.

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.

Corvain Cooper is no longer serving a life sentence for a non-violent marijuana conviction under the three strikes law. Corvain received clemency from Donald Trump in 2021, right before he left office. He served seven years of his sentence after his lawyer and thousands rallied behind his freedom. In 2020, his story landed on the front page of the Washington Post and he was featured in “Smoke” the BET documentary which shows how the war on drugs systematically targeted Black communities with the criminalization of marijuana. Ivanka Trump would eventually hear of Corvain's story and was touched not only by the hypocrisy of his sentence but also that he had two daughters that needed him. Although her father granted Corvain clemency and he was released from prison, since he did not receive a full pardon, he has to endure ten years of parole. Despite these barriers, he has still been able to have his own strain of marijuana packaged and sold in the popular Cookies marijuana dispensary. For now, Corvain is focused on community events anywhere in L.A County and beyond where he can lend his resources, voice and lived experiences with his social impact brand, 40 Tons. So far, along with 40 Tons founder Loriel Alegrete, Corvain has helped bring expungement clinics to South Central, as well as coding workshops for the youth. 40 Tons is a socially conscience cannabis brand that represents the voiceless as well stories of redemption. The brand is a vibrant reminder that many lives have been lost due to prison sentences and many of the folks behind prison walls, still long to be seen and heard. Lend them an ear and some support through their 40 Tons Merchandise. Follow Corvain on IG: @CorvainCooper Follow and Support 40 Tons Brand https://www.40tons.co

The 23-year-old Black Mother/Student went missing Sep 9, 2020 and was found deceased in her own car a week later. Detectives have now told Mikeona’s family that they are closing the investigation into her case, although, her cause of death has not been established. Mikeona's family searched for her in Los Angeles, putting up missing persons fliers, as well as using social media in their search efforts. They canvassed the same area she was found and they say her car was not in that location when they searched for her. It was determined by detectives that Mikeona died the day she went missing but her cause of death is currently listed as "undetermined." 6 months later, her family has also not received her autopsy report. Her toxicology report showed no drugs or alcohol. No reward was offered for information leading to an arrest on behalf of the city of Los Angeles. Mikeona has 2 daughters.
