#COLORADO—While out in Denver at a conference I run into the amazing @ZariaFDavis and got a chance to introduce her and Lady Funcke. I love how our professional network is out here doing the work and learning! #ficgn #work #network lnkd.in/eKpYdJgR

Taking the stage in 15 minutes at #SXSW to discuss The Impact of College in Prison and how FormerlyIncarcerated CollegeGraduatesNetwork is working to make that opportunity available to all students #SXSW2023

"Just being in a classroom, my mindset changed in who I was and who I saw myself being, and that was simply from being in a classroom and viewing myself as a scholar and a student." #SXSW #SXSW23

"There's no reason why people who don’t have any college education or a GED when they enter prison, that they should come out with that same level of education."

"I hope that we get to a space where we’re not putting people in boxes in terms of the type of work. . . It would be great if employers reached out and wanted to hire a system-impacted person for a job that had nothing to do with justice involvement."

"At FormerlyIncarcerated CollegeGraduatesNetwork We want to support people going after their dreams. Your degree makes you employable and your incarceration should not disqualify you."

"We have to question what is risk?"

"Be committed to restoring humanity to those impacted by the carceral system and the legal system over all. Refer to people as people." Take the Person First Pledge: ficgn.org/how-we-work/ #SXSW #SXSW23 #sx

"Whether an employer or landlord, get in front of them and demonstrate your character, that proximity is undeniable."
