WHEN I REFLECT ON MY PAST I USE A CONCEPT STAR AND EXERCISE STRENGTH AND FAITH IN MY HIGHER POWER. AND I LOOK AROUND MY SURROUNDINGS AND REALIZE OTHERS ARE IN WORSE CONDITIONS THAN ME. I KNOW BEYOND THE REASON OF DOUBT THIS IS A PREPARATION STAGE TO STOP, THINK, ACT, AND REFLECT. I AM […]

Opening Doors of Opportunity for Justice-Impacted Individuals Every day, I’m reminded of the vast potential that lies within our prison walls. These are not just facilities that house individuals; they are reservoirs of talent, ambition, and untapped potential. My mission with Prison Professors Talent is to bridge the gap between this potential and the opportunities […]
