On March 7, 2024, LaRuby May joined Mansa Musa of the Rattling the Bars Podcast. Their conversation focused on the ongoing battle for justice for the victims and survivors abused while detained as children at Maryland Department of Juvenile Services facilities. 

The podcast gives listeners direct insight into the importance of the Maryland Child Victims Act of 2023, the significance of May Jung’s class action lawsuit to black and brown communities, and the critical need to bring about systemic change in the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services: 

“Having folks who’ve been touched by and part of the juvenile justice system, the Department of Corrections, that’s all very personal to me. You know what I mean? Whether or not it’s from family members, immediate family members, or other family members. The opportunity that we have as a law firm to be able to go and hold people accountable for harm—specifically harm that’s happening disproportionately to Black and Brown folks, to Black and Brown children—is the privilege that I have.”
