In this powerful episode, we sit down with Luisa, a 25-year-old young woman who spent five years in prison for aggravated robbery. From being given away at birth and navigating the foster care system to running away at 17 and committing crimes out of necessity, Luisa's early life was marked by hardship and struggle. However, her story takes a transformative turn as she rebuilds her life post-incarceration. Now a cosmetology student, Luisa shares her journey of working unconventional jobs, finding her passion, and giving back by mentoring troubled youth. She also opens up about the complexities of reconnecting with her birth mother, who abandoned her and her siblings at birth. Join us as we explore themes of resilience, accountability, and the profound message that we are all worthy of love and redemption.
