A Chat With Susan Burton

Natalie took this Fourth of July to speak with Susan Burton, the founder of “A New Way Of Life”

A New Way of Life Reentry Project provides housing, case management, pro bono legal services, advocacy and leadership development for women rebuilding their lives after prison. Natalie tried to chat with Susan a couple of days ago, but the internet connection was not very good. Today she has had the opportunity to compensate. Here it is:

let’s remember that many among us do not enjoy justice or freedom. Many people are trapped in the criminal justice system with little to no resources. Thankfully Susan Burton's @anewwayoflifela is fighting to end mass incarceration by providing formerly incarcerated women with the resources they need not only to rebuild their lives but to heal. Every woman I've met through A New Way of Life has described Susan as an angel, the first person in their life who believed in them. To be able to give that much love all the time is another level of humanity that I have never before seen. Please listen to our conversation and follow along to support and learn: @anewwayoflifela and read Susan’s book Becoming Ms. Burton. And thank you to everyone who tuned into our LIVE the other day! We had to redo because of technical difficulties.
