As most of you know, our show began back at our local college in Louisiana. STR8UP wouldn’t be where it is today without professors who pushed us for greatness like Peggy Byers. We are sadden that the Mother of The STR8UP family is no longer with us, so it’s only fitting we pay tribute to her in our Season 5 opener.

Thank you for everything Ms. Byers!

For years people have been quick to criticize those looking to immigrate to America in hope of a better life. But outside of using the popular #kidsincages hashtag, how much do Americans really know about the Immigration process and its laws? We talk to Criminal and Immigration Attorney Cynthia Santiago about how she’s providing legal help to those who do not have access to passionate & trustworthy legal counsel. Cynthia Santiago also discusses the different immigration laws as well as explaining on how others can be an ally to immigrants and their families.
