In this riveting episode, we sit down with Stephen Jackson, a figure of resilience and transformation. Incarceration marked a chapter in Stephen's past, but it was just the beginning of his story. Today, he stands as a licensed professional counselor, restorative justice practitioner, and an advocate for community development.
We explore his journey, from founding Global CommUnity Associates, a restorative consulting firm, to integrating social services at the Oak Park Public Library. As the Director of Equity and Antiracism, he's building bridges and breaking barriers. His belief in homeownership as a community investment tool has also led him to become a successful realtor.
Stephen's story is a testament to redemption and the power of change. Tune in to hear how he turned a difficult past into a catalyst for community empowerment and transformation.
