The Mornin' Experience 7_31

Today’s episode is a powerful one. We sit down with Jessica Lopez, a mother, survivor, and activist whose life has been shaped by the very systems she’s fought against. After spending 10 months incarcerated for her role in the protests that followed the 2020 police shooting of Ricardo Muñoz in Lancaster, Jessica is finally home—and ready to speak her truth. From childhood trauma and sexual assault, to losing her father to deportation and navigating her mother’s incarceration, Jessica’s story isn’t just about survival. It’s about resilience, resistance, and reclaiming her narrative in a city still grappling with injustice. She’s not just talking reform—she’s living it.
