The Hardest Step - Ep 1 | Newfound Hope with Topeka K. Sam

Introducing "The Hardest Step," which is taking over the Lost Debate feed for a special episode! Topeka K. Sam is a shining example of the power of redemption. While in federal prison for drug trafficking, Topeka witnessed firsthand the many challenges and injustices that women, particularly women of color, face behind bars. After her release in May 2015, she launched The Ladies of Hope Ministries. The organization works to advocate for women in or recently out of prison. The ministry helps women transition back into society by providing them with safe housing, education, spiritual empowerment, and entrepreneurial skills. Chris and Coss sit down with Topeka to discuss the highs and lows of her journey and how she stays hopeful in the face of adversity. To learn more about The Ladies of Hope Ministries, visit thelohm.org. Preview for next week: Chris and Coss interview voting rights activist Desmond Meade, whose organization is credited with the passage of Amendment 4, a grassroots initiative that restored voting rights to over 1.4 million Floridians with prior felony convictions.
