Convicted Success

Merry Christmas! On tonight's episode there is no interview instead I'll be giving you some updates about COVID in the prisons and later in the episode, I'll be sharing with you, some of the wonderful people out there who have been locked up and are now making a difference in their communities. Let's end the year on a high note! 

Welcome to yet another episode of Convicted Success! On tonight's episode, special guest, Yolanda Ricks is joining me to share her story and words of encouragement. With more than 3 decades in and out of jail and  4 prison sentences under her belt, her life now is proof that it is never too late to make a change and live a fulfilling life. In the second part of this episode, we will continue the discussion on COVID in the prisons with insight from prisoners on the inside. 

Tonight my guest, Virginia Whittaker is sharing her story. With just over a year out of prison, she talks about her struggles with breaking the cycle and lessons learned during incarceration.  In the second half of this episode, I am going to be talking about COVID in the prisons. 

Joining me on tonight's episode is Ann- Bunsey- Fraser, known previously as Stacey Bunsey. Now an advocate for incarcerated women and a supporter of LEAFE Community, she is sharing her story of tremendous success to encourage and instill hope in others. Her last case may have been high profile, with videos and articles online to this day, her accomplishments outway them by far. I will also be discussing incarceration statistics for females. 

Tonight's episode is a little different! It's a group discussion and I have brought back 3 of my previous guests to talk about the traumas/ experiences that led to our downward spiral, our AHA moments, and parenting as a convict! 

Welcome Back to Convicted Success!  Joining me to tell her story is Aleksandra Donato. Now a professional chef and dedicated mother, she shares with us the struggles she dealt with after incarceration and how she overcame those obstacles. I'm also sharing a few confidence-building techniques that will help you change your mindset and start recognizing your self-worth! 

In this episode, we are talking about the challenges inmates (specifically women)  face when released from prison, programming, and support networks. Joining me for this discussion is Sylvia Reyes. Tune in to hear her story! 

join me for a very special episode! Tonight we will hear the story of Jen Hernandez- and trust me it is an eye opener! 

Joining me in tonight's episode is Teri Plasencio. Her story of strength and perseverance and the tragedies she has endured is amazing! If she can do it, you can too! 

Listen in to hear my guest Cheyenne Hemphill talk about her experiences and overcoming her past through programming. Hear about her experiences in prison and the adjustments she has made after serving two sentences, the last being 5 years. Her story of growth is amazing! And I'll be explaining in detail, the plans for LEAFE Community, a new non-profit in Nevada dedicated to supporting women who have been and are incarcerated.
