In this raw and unfiltered episode of Break That Cycle, we sit down with Ebenie Gordon, who walked out of jail less than a year ago after more than a decade of charges ranging from theft to assault. With a rap sheet that could have defined her forever, Ebenie chose instead to use her last stint behind bars as a turning point.

While incarcerated, she earned her diploma, completed a welding program, and secured certifications in OSHA10, forklift operation, and scissor lift use. Since her release in October 2024, she's found steady work, bought a car, and is relying on her faith to keep moving forward.

We talk about:

• The reality of living with a record that spans over a decade

• How she turned her time inside into an opportunity for growth

• The challenges of reintegration and starting over after incarceration

• Her message to others still caught in the system

Ebenie's story isn't polished — it's real. It's proof that second chances exist, and that redemption is possible when determination meets opportunity.
