I think honestly, my favorite thing was the “Fall in love with thrifting” project. It was fun to go to so many stores that I didn’t even know were around me. I also just really love fall time, so painting fall scenery really set the tone for the season for me!

Getting a job wasn’t the main challenge Dantae faced upon being released from prison – it was finding the right job. After 16 years of incarceration, and no past work experience, he found himself with limited options for jobs that weren’t the right fit. He worked at two restaurants but struggled to connect and communicate with his managers and coworkers. “I don’t know if I’ve always been like this, but I might have. But the person prison made me, people can’t talk to me a certain way. I don’t see authority – we breathe the same air, made of the same blood, so I’m going to talk to everybody the same way.” Read his Success Story: https://lnkd.in/duhnGsCm
