The Restoring our Future w/Ro podcast is in place to restore our inner-city communities through one on one interviews with formerly incarcerated men and women. The goal is to provide insight into their experiences growing up in inner-city America, the realities of their incarceration, and how their second chance is being used to right their past wrongdoings.
