Nicolas DeCastro: A New Way to Solve Homelessness

In this deeply emotional and eye-opening episode of *Women in the Nude*, Sasha sits down with Los Angeles entrepreneur and activist Nicolas de Castro to discuss his groundbreaking initiative, *Humanize the Homeless* — a program designed to combat homelessness by encouraging businesses to redirect portions of their advertising budgets toward paying unhoused individuals to clean and improve their communities.

But Nicolas’ mission comes from an intensely personal place.

For the first time publicly, Nicolas shares the harrowing story of surviving a cartel-related kidnapping and shooting tied to a human trafficking attempt involving his ex-girlfriend — a traumatic event that led to years of psychosis, homelessness, and rebuilding his life from the ground up.

Together, Sasha and Nicolas unpack the realities of homelessness, addiction, trauma, dignity, and why incentives — not shame — may be the missing key to meaningful rehabilitation and systemic change. This conversation is raw, vulnerable, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful.
