In 2014, Equity Equals had a conversation with a young man whose story is uniquely powerful. Shaka Senghor is a leading voice in criminal justice reform and the Director of Strategy for #Cut50, a national bipartisan initiative to safely and smartly reduce the prison population by 50 percent by 2025. His memoir, Writing My Wrongs, a New York Times Bestseller, is a redemption story told through a stunningly human portrait of what it's like to grow up in the gravitational pull of poverty, violence, fear, and hopelessness. It's an unforgettable tale of forgiveness and second chances, one that reminds us that our worst deeds don't define who we are or what we can contribute to the world.
