We sit down with Tarik Clark, a man who spent 25 years behind bars and is now dedicating his life to helping formerly incarcerated individuals successfully reenter society.
Tarik shares his incredible journey—from the challenges of prison life to the struggles of reentry and how he turned his experience into a mission of hope. Now working with Made New, an organization in Inglewood, CA, he provides critical support, job resources, and guidance for those seeking a fresh start.
We discuss:
✅ The biggest challenges of reentry after decades in prison
✅ How returning citizens can find jobs, build resumes, and access support

✅ Inspiring success stories from the men and women Tyree has helped
