These are some clips from a recent video visitation that I had with my friend Celeste.
Celeste is a remarkably resilient and compassionate woman who has navigated through significant challenges in her life. Despite enduring early struggles with substance abuse and finding herself entangled in a controversial religious organization. Her 23 years of sobriety, dedication to teaching and mentoring others, and the support she receives from a loving family and community highlight her commitment to personal growth and making a positive impact despite facing a 30-year sentence, which many believe raises questions about the fairness of her conviction.
