In this episode of The 10 Ninety Podcast, Mason talks with Millie Ortiz about the life and death of her son Calvin (1995–2024) and a mother’s fight for truth and dignity. Millie recounts Calvin’s grooming by an older man, addiction, trafficking, prison, and the devastating reality of him being found dead on April 5, 2024—and how bias and indifference failed her gay, Latino son. Through tears, evidence, and the poem “Afterglow,” Millie urges action to protect other kids. It’s a raw conversation about grief, justice, and a love that won’t quit.
