LaWanda Hollister is an incoming college student and a chef who aspires to start her own food truck business. She was also incarcerated for 34 years. Today, we speak with her about the experience of entering prison as a teenager and leaving as an adult, and how one’s physical and mental health is affected by decades of being incarcerated with inaccessible healthcare. We also get a glimpse into what the COVID-19 pandemic was like behind bars. Join us as we get to know LaWanda and better learn the realities of the long-lasting impacts of growing up inside.
