Show Summary

From Prison to Paid

Letitia Scott Jackson is a published author, public speaker, musician, entrepreneur, and humanitarian. In 2015, she birthed Keeping Families Connected out of a personal desire to make meaningful contributions to the lives of those who are incarcerated and the family members they are separated from. Ever since, she wants to spread the hope of redemption and connection one interaction, letter to an inmate and prison visit at a time. She also has a passion for speaking to youth and young adults about making the best choices now, based on her own past experiences.

In this interview we dive into her background and find some really interesting things like her father, a pastor, taking a charge for her and doing prison time. That’s crazy. I know my dad loved me but I’m not sure he’d done that.

We talk about her time in prison and how she tried to write churches to see if they’d pick her daughter up for church, and how that inspired the play she wrote, “Where are all the church people at?”

This is such a great redemption story and a true example of how your background can pay you back instead of hold you back.
