“Keep using your voice. It changes the world.”
At SXSW EDU, Larry Miller met Nichole Alexander, Nurudeen Alabi and Kun Lyna “K” Tauch - three individuals impacted by the justice system who started their education journeys while in prison, and featured in @roadtripnation ’s film ‘The Inside Scholars’ which premiered at SXSW EDU.
Why is @sxswedu so important?
Because 80 million Americans have arrest records, and the barriers they face do not make our communities safer, or our economy stronger. Building inclusive economies will. This conversation belongs everywhere.
