When I left prison, I had to figure out how to embrace my past.
I made my own assessment of my life, and I began to live it. That was freedom.
A feel-good style can be a symptom of unawareness or lack of caring.

I never told a victim story about my imprisonment. Instead, I told a transformation story - about how prison changed my outlook, about how I saw that communication, truth, and trust are at the heart of power.
