I Was Trafficked Drugs Overseas — Then Got Locked Up Abroad

LaTascia Taylor thought she had found her fairy tale. Charming successful confident — the kind of man who walks into your life and makes you feel completely seen. What she did not know was that he was running a major drug operation. And little by little he pulled her in. First moving money across state lines. Then transporting packages. Then flying internationally with drugs hidden in luggage. On a flight to Europe everything came crashing down. Arrested in a foreign country. No support. No way home. Two years in an overseas prison. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, LaTascia tells the complete story — from growing up as a church girl searching for identity to the strip club door that changed everything to being groomed into trafficking step by step to the international operation that ended with her arrest overseas. She opens up about life inside a foreign prison the fight to come home the shame and judgment of returning and how she turned all of it into purpose through ministry youth work and healing. #truecrime #survivalstory #prisonstories #traumarecovery #toxicrelationships #drugtrafficking #lockedinwithianbick #secondchances Thank you to BLUECHEW & BRUNT for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.
