Reading Sing Sing Midnight in collaboration with the Osborne Association, the Queens Public Library, Amanda Lugo from Echoes of Incarceration and Council Member Daniel Dromm, and raising awareness about kids with incarcerated parents.

I got to host the Lucas Bros in an event for POPS the Club which works with kids of incarcerated parents across the country. They read their Vulture essay, "Our Brother, Kaizen" and answered questions from the kids. Their honesty about the factors leading to their own nihilism, ennui, and subsequent drug use is a powerful exploration of the pre-carceral malaise plaguing our nation.

Even though it's easy to be frustrated, we're trying to do all we can, even if it's just a little bit. Sometimes, a little goes a long way!
