Layla Wright is a journalist in Liverpool, specialising in documentaries &amp; investigations. Following her documentary “Gangs, Guns &amp; Grassing” for Radio City last year which explored Liverpool’s code of silence &amp; the fear of being a snitch – BBC Radio 4 asked her to investigate knife crime in Liverpool.  For Radio 4’s “Beyond Today” podcast she got together a group of teenagers to find out why people are prepared to carry a knife.  The 3-month long investigation came out last week &amp; revealed that older gang members across Merseyside are paying young people hundreds of pounds to stab each other, to avoid carrying out the attack themselves.   The particular kids Layla spoke to for the podcast said their best mate was the target of a £1,000 bounty.  The claims made directly linked to one recent Merseyside stabbing but after weeks of research following the interviews, it was confirmed by young people &amp; gang members that this was happening across the region.

S1 Ep34: Layla Wright

Layla Wright is not ordinary, she's extraordinary! Writing her memoirs, meeting the President, and changing the world.  It's all in a day's work for Layla. This year, Layla published her memoirs, A Memoir of Layla: Shining Light into Darkness. This prose comes directly from her journals, ones that she's been keeping since she was 13. One June 6, 2011, Layla was privileged to meet President Obama at a Young Leaders' Conference in the Roosevelt room of the White House.  She had participated in the “100 Youth Roundtables” Initiative and came to Washington, DC for a de-brief with President Obama, his Senior Staff, and DC-based youth advocates. Meeting President Obama has inspired Layla to continue to bring positive change to her community.  She has established the Appalachian Social Advancement Program whose goals are to orchestrate civic engagement and create social, political and economic awareness in Appalachia.
