Episode #40 of the 17 Winters Podcast dives into the painful and often overlooked reality of generational incarceration. In this powerful conversation, we sit down with author Alexis Devon Smith to discuss his impactful book, Momma Does My Daddy Still Love Me, and the emotional toll incarceration takes on our women, children and families across generations.

Together, we explore the trauma, abandonment, confusion, and resilience experienced by children with incarcerated parents, while shedding light on the importance of healing, accountability, and breaking destructive cycles. Alexis shares his inspiration behind the book, his personal passion for advocacy, and why these conversations are necessary for both families and communities impacted by the justice system.

This episode is a must-listen for returning citizens, parents, advocates, educators, and anyone committed to changing the narrative surrounding incarceration and family restoration.
