It only took 10 years after prison. I did 22 years on the installment plan of the complex web of juv. system, foster care, jail and prison. Now I'm a mother, lawyer and 1st formerly incarcerated State Rep. Quit throwing away my people! Still celebrating freedom 10 years later. https://t.co/dvCXjK5j2c

Get busy living or get busy dying... I spent the last 10 years building a meaningful life after prison (and finally learning to truly love the younger versions of myself). I'm going to enjoy the next 10 years and Barcelona did not disappoint. Next stop Gibraltar! https://t.co/bXTmbBh5pi
