When my father was granted parole…
When my father was granted parole….. Hallelujah!!!!! was all I could say. It was like the road that never was supposed to end, but finally there was an end and a new beginning for us all. With a green light that said just go. The best feeling ever!
Our relationship has grown stronger. We have really gotten a chance to get to know each other as who we are completely. Everyday is still a growing moment.
I am very proud of my father for the work that he does in the community. He changes peoples lives and inspires them.
Doing the motivational speeches with my father were very uplifting. I would love to see the effect that it had on the people we were speaking to. The questions that were asked. I enjoyed the fact of how we would change at least one person’s thought process.
I mostly tell others to stay focused on their goals.Do their best and be the best at all times. Never be a follower, always a leader. There will always be others to follow you even when you do not want them to. Whether it is a family member, friend, or just someone that is impressed by your style of being who you are. Show people what you are made of, not where you came from.

The Parole Board Hearing
Speaking at Vincent’s parole hearing was a very emotional time for me. I had never been to a parole hearing before. I had no idea what to expect or what would be expected of me. We pulled in to Angola, this massive and very intimidating prison only to learn that a film crew would be filming the parole hearing for a documentary. The only thing that could be worse at this point would be Vincent getting paroled. When it was time for the hearing they brought us into a small room, four men sat behind a long table in front of me, and the film crew to my left. I fought for my composer, my legs shaking, fighting back the tears I made my why to the chair and sat in front of the board members. I finally found the courage to speak. It was very intimidating having a film crew you didn’t expect, and four men who would decide you fate. To say the least we left there physically and emotionally drained.
