Episode 10 - Skylar Economy & Clarence Ford - Igniting Hope Through Storytelling
Published on: Jan 27, 2021
Clarence
Today we are so excited to bring you this podcast. We covered everything about what it means to be somebody who was formerly incarcerated to someone who is now essentially being a role model for hundreds, if not thousands, of people currently in the prison system--giving them hope and giving them a path for the future. We talked about FITE which is an amazing film. We also talked about people with disabilities and the struggles that are happening right now. We talked about where we're going as we move forward with changes to the prison system as well. I definitely learned several things that I did not know about incarceration and the way the prison system or the justice system works. This is a very informative and definitely emotional episode today.
