THE SINS OF THE PARENTS SHOULD NOT BE LAID UPON THEIR CHILDREN
In the United States, one in five children has had a parent incarcerated at some point, and more than 75% of children who have had a parent incarcerated, has themselves become incarcerated. John F. Kennedy said, “We are not here to cure the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future”. This episode is emotionally riveting, not just because the woman sharing her story has both of her parents incarcerated for war crimes in Senegal and Rwanda, but because of the abuse she sustained as a victim, because of her parents circumstances. It is a journey of epic proportions that brings her to a place where, with the support of a village, she can share her story.

Let’s see what your body can be with support and wrap around services that break the ideals about what is fit, beautiful, and standard. Hint there are guidelines but screw the standards.

THE ONLY WAY TO DO GREAT WORK IS TO LOVE WHAT YOU DO
The title of this weeks episode is part of a quote by the late Steve Jobs. The full quote says; “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” While it may take a village, behind the wall and beyond, to assist justice-involved individuals with recovery and re-entry back into society, it also takes a handful of extraordinary facilitators who have dedicated their lives to their secondary education and ensuing certifications, combined with a myriad of experience, to be a changemaker in the criminal justice system.
