Coming out of our Community Defense series, we return to celebrating the 25th year of Kebtah’s impact on the city of Chicago. We discuss the transformational potential of the mission in assisting all of us in confronting the prison industrial complex of America. Our guest Jahzra Shemzura began The Earth Center prison project to bring the Kebtah mission (indigenous African wisdom) into inmate populations. Listen to her experiences, challenges and what’s to come.
