SUMMARY:From Prison to Purpose: Rebuilding Life After Incarceration
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\nIn 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. \n\nParticipants will learn 
 strategies for rebuilding confidence\, finding employment\, creating 
 opportunities\, and staying focused when the odds seem stacked against 
 them. \n\nAlso\, join Eric on Thursday\, September 3 for his workshop\, 
 "Work Ready." \n\nFrom Prison to Purpose\, with Eric Bryant of G-Wall 
 Chronicles\n\nThursday\, August 20\, 2026\n\n6 pm - 7:30 pm\n\n4th Floor 
 Auditorium\n\nNewark Main Library\n\n5 Washington St
