When he’s not hitting the books as an Ethnic Studies major at San Francisco State University he’s doing Restorative Justice work with Oakland Unified School District AND with Amplify RJ. Did I mention he’s 19 years old? This is a much shorter conversation than this podcasts first episode with Cheryl Graves, but while it’s shorter in length, it’s DEFINITELY just as packed with wisdom and laughs. But enough from me, let’s get into the conversation with Oakland’s own Griffen Castillo.

Cheryl Marie Graves is a girl from the South Side of Chicago who stumbled into Restorative Justice just at the right time. One of Chicago’s “God-mother’s” (NOT grandmother’s) of Restorative Justice Cheryl has brought Restorative Justice and Peace Circles to thousands across the city, the country, and the world. This is hopefully the first of many conversations we’ll get to share on this podcast, but for now I’m really excited to share how she got into this work and some of the things she’s learned along the way.

Connect with Cheryl’s work at Community Justice for Youth Institute on their website https://cjyi.orj or via email [email protected]
