An interview from the "Soft White Underbelly" YouTube channel features a woman named Diamond who began working the streets at age 11. She describes her journey through the foster care system and the trauma of early childhood abuse.

Humanizing the Addict Perspective on George Floyd

The discussion shifts to George Floyd's drug use, aiming to "keep it 100" by looking at the situation from an addict's perspective. The hosts use an interview from the "Soft White Underbelly" YouTube channel featuring a heroin addict named Kevin to humanize the struggle. They argue that Floyd's addiction should not "dehumanize" him or make him "human trash" in the eyes of the public.
