On this weeks episode, Geoff sits down with Jodi Hansen, the self proclaimed "nice white church lady." Jodi candidly shares how she uses her privileged position to speak on behalf of the vulnerable imprisoned population. She fluidly lives life on a daily basis with those who either currently are or previously have been incarcerated, helping them normalize human interactions, heal, and become equipped to have a fighting chance. This episode is packed with valuable insight that anyone can apply to better serve the marginalized in their communities.
