Episode 2 of the Independent Trainers podcast is now streaming on Spotify, Google play and YouTube! Find out how you can help give a former incarcerated person a second chance at life by helping become a certified personal trainer through @asecondufoundation. Becoming an independent personal trainer is one of the few industries where society allows the formerly convicted to make a living wage to feed their families. It’s my hope that this episode will help destroy the stigma of negative stereotypes surrounding those formerly incarcerated and view them with the empathy and compassion they deserve. #strotherpt #asecondufoundation #theindependenttrainerpodcast #formerlyincarcerated #hope #secondchance #personaldevelopment #personaltraining #nyc (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/COdMp74A2J9/?igshid=105yh961ft26f

I finally found my friend @jdotbrwn after hunting for almost 2 months (jails are so stupid, they would not give him my postcard because it didn't have my full name on it. ). Anyway, he wrote me this postcard. "Dear whoever, I'm not sure who wrote me or sent me mail from this address, but the jail wouldn't allow me to receive whatever you sent because you didn't add your name to the address. I'm not familiar with anyone who stays in the Nevada area but I do know of a woman who my love a lot that visit the Reno area a lot.

Worked on the face of JOSH. He comes from a family of very famous female flying trapeze artists, The Flying Caverattas, who have performed all over the world. I first noticed his athleticism when we sat down at a schoolyard to talk underneath a covered space next to the school. 2 nine-year-olds were playing basketball nearby and one accidentally threw the basketball on top of the roof above us. Josh immediately jumped up and shimmied like a monkey up the pole onto the roof and threw the basketball down to the boys. They were astounded as was I. When Josh came back down I asked him, "What is your sport?" He said, "Skateboarding; however, my mother and aunt were members of The Flying Caverattas. I looked them up and they were pretty amazing.🎪🏅🎟👨🏿‍🔧👨🏻‍✈️🤖Prisoners to Paper dolls. #prison #detail #oiloncanvas #oilpainting #wip #workinprogress #trapese #athlete #contemporaryart #exconvict #grisaille #renonevada #redemption #arrest #crime #contemporaryart #fineart #artist #artforjustice #activistart #formerlyincarcerated #exconvict #exprisoner #crimes #criminaldefense #redemption #reentry #renonevada #redemption #wip #workinprogress #contemporaryart #exconvict #renonevada #renoartdistrict #arrest #crimes #tybeeisland (at Reno, Nevada)
