In this inspiring episode of the "Out of Exile Podcast", I, Ren, have the privilege of sitting down with Robert “Lil Bobby” Pittman, a remarkable individual whose journey of transformation exemplifies the power of resilience and education.

Sentenced to life plus 15 years at just 16 years old, Lil Bobby spent 24 years in prison, where he took charge of his future. He actively participated in self-help programs like the "Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP)" and committed himself to education, starting from a place of functional illiteracy. From reading "Cat in the Hat" to graduating as Valedictorian of his GED class, Bobby’s dedication didn’t stop there—he went on to earn a degree in Human Services from the **University of Baltimore**, all while still incarcerated.

Since his release, Lil Bobby has channeled his experiences into positive action by founding the Bullying Intervention Team (BIT), a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting, educating, and empowering individuals affected by bullying. He also works as a Reintegration Specialist for the Second Chance Program at UB, helping others navigate their return home after incarceration.

Join us as we explore Lil Bobby’s incredible journey, the importance of education and self-improvement, and the impactful work he’s doing to make a difference in the lives of others.
