After being sentenced to federal prison, Amanda and Legend wrote over 300 letters to each other — letters that would eventually become the foundation of their nonprofit, 300 Letters. In this powerful episode, they join Roselyn to share their journey from incarceration to inspiration.

We talk about:

Growing up in survival mode

What it really means to be labeled a “felon”

How incarceration impacts entire families — not just individuals

Rebuilding after prison, raising emotionally-aware sons, and founding a nonprofit that’s rewriting the system

This episode is raw, honest, and full of the kind of healing our community needs to hear.
