Even hope can be negotiated. Meet Andre Norman. From illiteracy to gang activity, Andre’s childhood prepared him for nothing less than a life of crime and violence. This behavior eventually led him to be sentenced to over 100 years in prison. During his stay in solitary confinement, Andre had an epiphany to turn his life around. He wanted to get an education, so he took it step by step and after over 25 years of hard work and dedication, Andre is now a Harvard graduate and is a motivational speaker that has travelled around the world from the Bahamas to Sweden, talking about his incredible story. Andre is also the founder of the Academy of Hope which is a program that helps reduce prison violence in order to create a safer environment for everyone. Join your host, Christine McKay and her guest Andre Norman on how he negotiated through the prison cells and into helping others. Learn how jail time helped Andre in his ability to negotiate by just reading the room.
