Host Ned Buskirk speaks with Emile Suotonye DeWeaver, a formerly incarcerated activist, owner of Re:Frame LLC, and the award-winning author of Ghost in the Criminal Justice Machine: Reform, White Supremacy, and an Abolitionist Future. California’s Governor Brown commuted his life sentence after twenty-one years for his community work. He lives in Oakland, California where he coaches writers engaged with the challenge of translating complex ideas into accessible narratives.
