In this episode, I have the honor of interviewing Alice Marie Johnson, a fierce criminal justice reform advocate, renowned leader, speaker, and luminary in the movement. Alice shares her inspirational story of being granted clemency after serving over 21 years in federal prison for a nonviolent drug case, and how she's committed her life to helping others and fighting for criminal justice reform.
Alice provides invaluable advice, emphasizing the importance of empathy, understanding, and treating people just as people. She encourages us to look in the mirror and examine ourselves, to see if we are part of the problem and to take action to be part of the solution. Alice's story received worldwide attention when Kim Kardashian advocated for her release, and she has since been honored for her advocacy work and deemed a catalyst for the successful passage of the First Step Act.
As a published author and proud mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Alice continues to be a force for good, creating a cultural shift for restorative justice through her leadership of the Taking Action for Good Foundation (TAG).
Tune in to hear Alice's powerful story and learn from her invaluable insights on criminal justice reform.
