Interviewing Red

This week we bring a brilliant young woman onto Love and Life. Tanisha Williams, also know as Red, is a thinker and doer. She loves the women she is forced to live among and works to lift them up in creative ways. She also shares her difficult past and trauma with the world in order to work toward her own freedom and to also lift up the reality that so many woman who are imprisoned are so much more than their worst moment/s in life. You can read more about Red in Justine van der Leun's article No Choice but to Do It

Tashiena and Natalie also reflect on the power of compassion and empathy and its abundance in such a place as prison. You can also check out Tashiena's recent Braiding Freedom conversation with Mothering Justice and Freedom Team Detroit! Peace and love.
