La’Cinda Trotter, the phenom known by several names, is Unsung in Philadelphia. I’m grateful to be able to tell her story. Her career has been a fascinating journey taking her from house parities to acting in movies. However, one of the most extraordinary parts is that she has dedicated her career to helping the most vulnerable youth in Philadelphia. She has invested her time physically, emotionally, and spiritually. La’Cinda’s approach to youth development is mutual respect and listening to their ideas while addressing their needs; she finds ways to turn the trauma into positive outcomes.

La’Cinda Trotter has over 14,000 followers on Tiktok, a new clothing line and Producer of the reality show Surviving Philly TV. She is a beast when it comes to promoting and will stop at nothing to get the message to the masses, and she is Uptown born and raised.
