According to guest Jahmal Allen, “The most extreme event of my life wasn’t receiving a life sentence at 16 years old, nor being responsible for taking someone else’s life; it was having the time to grow, learn, become accountable, and making sense of all that was real…”
In Part 2 of our conversation, Jahmal shares his life-changing growth process from teen to adult while incarcerated.
While sitting in the hole on Death Row, angry at the world for his circumstances and for what life had done to him, Jahmal had a lightbulb moment. This epiphany would mark the beginning of a transition in him that would change his life.
Today, Jahmal comes to us with a message for all regarding the freedom that comes from accepting responsibility for our actions, holding ourselves accountable for our lives, living from a place of vulnerability and humility, and actively committing to choosing education over ignorance.
