    Sometimes, the truth flips the script. I used to believe the outreach work I supported came from state programs—until 2023, when I learned the blueprint for real change was built by those behind bars. Today, we lift the veil on that truth.

    We’re joined by Stanley Jamel Bellamy, Kenneth Inniss, and Joe Robinson, members of the Resurrection Study Group—a movement born not in policy rooms but in prison cells. Created by visionaries like Larry White, known as the Father of the New Prison Movement, and Eddie Ellis, the group's founding architect, RSG reshapes lives through education, mentorship, and healing.

    What does resurrection really mean when the world has counted you out? Stick around—we’re about to explore the blueprint of rebirth, redemption, and radical transformation.
