"The Iron Echo" Podcast
Welcome to "The Iron Echo" podcast, a continuation of my memoir of the same name. This podcast serves as a deep dive into my journey of returning to a city that is in the early stages of gentrification. After spending 33 years of my life in prison, which began as a teenager, I find myself reintegrating into a community that is rapidly changing. Through this podcast, I aim to explore the complexities of these changes, share personal stories, and engage with others who have experienced similar transitions. Join me as we navigate the echoes of the past and the realities of the present, shedding light on the impact of gentrification on individuals and communities alike.
