SOMETIMES THE WORST THINGS WE ARE TOLD,
WE TELL OURSELVES.
My life's work is an un-telling of all the things I was taught to tell myself...that I am underserving; that I am unable to love; that my past mistakes are the limitations of my present; that I'm nothing.
Welcome to a to a place where the counter narrative serves as a catalyst for change. A site that speaks to your questions about prison, violence, and trauma...and open you up to laughter, resilience, justice, counter narratives-- and the pursuit of finding our humanity.
This is Marlon's world...
