In our 17th Episode, we join in with a special guest, Lindsy Floyd, of Connecticut to discuss how life has been for her since her release from prison. We talked of her privileged upbringing, heading off to prison, as well as navigating life after a few traumatic years inside the walls. Having received a phone call from her father that he had just seen her on the news & wanted for 'Murder'... her whole life would change in the flash of a moment...

There were many instances in our interview that I could relate back to my own prison experiences; in the same feelings, emotions, & perspective toward a once delicate time of incarceration. We appreciate & applaud Lindsy for taking the time to share her story & experiences with not only us.. but the world. Through the necessary conversations we have, (sometimes hard)... we take the necessary steps toward the change we must see.

Join in with our conversation on the years that shaped Lindsy's future to come & find out what she is doing now by connecting below...

In our 13th Episode, we had the opportunity to sit down with a Mrs. Paula Aguilar-Smith of Tennessee. Formerly working as a correctional officer, Paula has seen a side of incarceration that many are never afforded the opportunity. While one of her sons is currently incarcerated in state prison, Paula explains that it's not always cut & dry in corrections. With an unknown release date on the prison sentence her son was handed, much is left up in the air to plan in regards to reentry into society. Anyone that has ever had a family member incarcerated understands this: your loved ones are doing time & counting down the days down just like the inmate is. It was truly an honor to be able to discuss some of the very important topics of incarceration, advocacy, & where one's hope lies for the future of corrections, justice, & advocacy.
