Our guest is Josie Burton. Originally from Chicago, she came to Colorado when she was 17 with her little baby. She was on the run for telling on people during cases and being addicted to drugs. When she was 19 she got community corrections for 7 years. The Harris family took her in and was a god sent family that taught her a lot. She was given 24 hours to make a decision and the Harris's told her she could do it and make it through the struggle. Its been a long road but now Josie sees her work coming to fruition by being at TV stations and radio stations telling her story. Random kids and adults coming up to her letting her know that she inspired them to come out and share there story. For along time Josie thought she could do it all by herself but she realized she needed God behind her to help her defeat and conquerall her obstacles in front of her. Raising nine boys now and being a strong black woman in recovery to be an example for her community she is now the founder of NXTChapter organization where she helps the community (convicts, addicts, ect.) re-integrate back in to society.
