In this episode of La Verdad Duele Podcast, we invited Dennis Febo. Febo is Boricua, and a native of Brooklyn, NY. In 2011, he founded Guazabara Insights, LLC, a health and educational services provider. Febo assists the underserved portions of our community and he is in contract with the correctional system where he works with thousands of inmates and juvenile detainees to prepare them for the outside world, by teaching Cultural and Social Consciousness Education. Febo is a community activist, and is currently spearheading the Amend the 13th movement in NJ and across the US, to free our constitution from the language of Slavery and Involuntary servitude. This is a great episode about social consciousness education, culture, disparities, and economic development for under represented communities.
