From Prison to Purpose: Rebuilding Life After Incarceration In-Person
After serving nearly a decade in federal prison, Eric Bryant returned home with no roadmap, no guarantees, and every reason to quit. Instead, he rebuilt his life one step at a time--working jobs others overlooked, developing leadership skills, and eventually becoming a lead commercial driver, author, mentor and podcast host.
In this powerful and honest presentation, Eric shares the realities of reentry, the challenges of overcoming stigma, and the practical steps that helped him create a successful life after incarceration.
Participants will learn strategies for rebuilding confidence, finding employment, creating opportunities, and staying focused when the odds seem stacked against them.
Also, join Eric on Thursday, September 3 for his workshop, "Work Ready."
