While incarcerated I was blessed to co-create and co-host an award winning podcast called “Uncuffed”. Episode 1 of season 2 is now out! Please support my work & listen in! #FreeGreg
Episode 1 is out NOW. Meet Kelton O'Connor. When his cellie was rushed to the hospital with COVID, Kelton thought he might never see him again...and so he goes to extraordinary lengths to show his solidarity. Thanks to @SanQuentinNews for the photo.

Our staff book group just finished reading and discussing Halfway Home by @reubenjmiller. READ THIS BOOK to understand how the label of guilt follows people before, during, and after incarceration and bars them from full citizenship.

I am so in love with @Oaklandside's series asking people in hard-hit communities how and why they got a COVID vaccination dose. Demystify the process. Make it relatable. Amplify the voices of people most impacted by COVID; don't assume their motivations. https://t.co/TNwIap3yR2

The Laster-Leon family got sick in December and their grandmother was hospitalized. They had vaccine concerns but knew it would protect their loved ones.
