28m · Bias Bender · 21 May 09:00

Welcome to a very special episode of Bias Bender! This episode was created in partnership with Broadway Advocacy Coalition (https://www.bwayadvocacycoalition.org/) as a part of my Artivism Fellowship with them!

We are joined by Naquasia Pollard, an activist and mentor who was previously incarcerated for 15 years to talk about her experiences. This one is a real gift, ya'll! Naquasia is the Executive Director of Pure Legacee (https://www.purelegacee.org/), an organization that aims to mentor young girls and women who are directly impacted by the prison justice system. Please check them out and support the incredible work they are doing.
