About Leyla Fatima

Leyla Fatima is a writer whose columns were featured in The Orange County Register, "Parenting From The Foxhole" which was the inspiration behind her Nationally syndicated talk radio show, "Parenting The Addict Child" on CBS owned Los Angeles based 97.1 FM- KLSX. The format change for CBS from FM Talk to music brought about Fatima taking her show LIVE to the parents and families who have read her columns and followed her radio show. Welcome to "No Apologies".

The objective, as always is to educate and help parents and families find a better way to cope." Fatima's strength and sense of being unapologetic for her approach and delivery and her experience as a seasoned veteran is what helped spawn No Apologies. "These workshops are not your typical parenting workshop.

Fatima's LIVE Q&A session that challenges parents along with her skit based visual tools leaves parents feeling empowered and hopeful again! It's geared toward families with no experience in addiction and alcoholism as well as those who live and breathe it everyday. And then there are those who just don't know what their talking about," Fatima adds. "That's when the discussion gets really entertaining, hearing feedback from those armchair quarterbacks and their ridiculously judgmental point of view."

Fatima, mother of two, had one son in long-term treatment at the age of 16 and her other son was a mandatory participant in a drug court program due to multiple drug charges in Southern California. Leyla's popularity is due to her unique ability to address the complex and painful issues that parents face, from the parent's perspective. With her soulful spot-on and often humorous approach at the insanity families live with creates an instant bond with her readers and listeners alike.
