I just met this wonderful lady and spoke at her presentation….told her how I was already a part of The Free Her community, Change.org, and how you’ve been my friend for years and how much I love you…I spoke about how you never give up, how prison can give you every tool you need to become functional, no matter what brought you to prison, be it trauma, abuse, drugs, a sex crime, murder…it didn’t matter…that it didn’t matter if you found God or the leaves outside were your higher power, you found something to believe in…and that no matter what to never give up…I spoke on how in my family it is a generational thing of everyone coming to prison, and how even though we are here it is up to us to stop the next generation from coming to prison….that our roles don’t stop just because we are here…to stop pitying ourselves and start leading, do what you have to do…She is a wonderful lady and her movie touched me dearly…
