TCE DOCKET #GAYLA DUMBO VS. TURO AND THE PO PO

This episode centers on Gayla Dumbo, who is thrown to the ground after being accused of stealing a Turo rental car. Mistaken for a man, she screams through tears, “I’m a girl! I’m a girl!” Fear grips her as she cries out that she doesn’t feel safe. Beneath the surface, Gayla suffers even more deeply — losing all her hair and entering early menopause due to her disease, her body and spirit bearing the weight of loss.

The scene connects to the sobering words of Isaiah 3:24:

“Instead of fragrance there will be a stench;
instead of a sash, a rope;
instead of well-dressed hair, baldness;
instead of fine clothing, sackcloth;
and branding instead of beauty.”

Gayla’s story mirrors the scripture, as her baldness and pain reflect not only physical affliction but also spiritual lament. Yet, her cry becomes more than despair — it is a reminder that even in brokenness, truth and resilience can still rise.
