Would you give up everything you've worked for your entire life in the name of justice? Maya Moore Irons is a two-time NCAA champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist, four-time WNBA champion, and WNBA MVP.

Nine-time Emmy winner David Sams chats with both Maya and Jonathan about their story, detailed in their memoir: "Love & Justice: A Story of Triumph on Two Different Courts." In this conversation, Jonathan shares his journey of faith, resilience, and the transformative power of connection through prison ministry. They both discuss the importance of restorative justice, the impact of community, and the role of faith in overcoming adversity. Jonathan and Maya also reflect on their friendship, love, and the broader implications of injustice, calling for collective action and hope for a better future. To learn more about Maya and Jonathan's efforts, visit: www.winwithjustice.org.
