Proud of you @Rahimbuford !
Today marks a sacred milestone: 10 years uncaged.
But my journey into freedom didn’t begin the day I walked out of prison. It started within.
Thank you for witnessing my journey.

If you’ve know anyone who has experienced addiction, listen to this. Oftentimes we criminalize rather than humanize.

When justice causes a former prosecutor to change sides. @Rahimbuford befriended Preston Shipp a decade ago & according to Rahim, Preston’s support & testimony at his last parole hearing in 2015 was crucial. The world needs more people like Preston! @cellsecrets
