Justice. Storytelling. Patient, optimistic. A human being, not a human doing. CEO of @werepjustice. My views are my own. I forgive so that I can be free.

[Daniel Forkkio @DanielForkkio]

Optimism is underrated.

"Narrative power isn’t just about a single story toppling a system; it’s about a chorus of voices rising together to shift our collective understanding."

In @prismreports,
@DanielForkkio highlights the power public media holds for system-impacted voices https://t.co/g4pktgZSQ8

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

. @werepjustice helps system-impacted people share their stories through film, encouraging all of us to reimagine our justice system. NowThis Impact spoke to the organization’s CEO, @DanielForkkio , at the @ElevatePrize Foundation’s Make Good Famous Summit about why telling untold stories through film is so powerful.

“We do not rise to the level of our goals. We fall to the level of our systems.”

An important reminder from @JamesClear

[Represent Justice @werepjustice]

Our collective call has been answered! Michelle West has been granted clemency. Kemba Smith has been pardoned. Today we harness and feel the spirit of justice.

[Represent Justice @werepjustice]

Clemency is about more than releasing someone from their sentence—it's about reclaiming lives. President Joe Biden, more lives can be saved with your executive power. It's time to use that power to grant more pardons and address systemic injustice.

We need clemency for survivors like Michelle West, who was criminalized for abuse and gender-based violence. Sentencing reform must protect, not punish, survivors. #FreeMichelleWest

Definitely going with “I have concepts of a plan” the next time someone asks me how far along I am with my draft

Last week, I joined @ColmanDomingo, the cast of Sing Sing, and @A24 for the DC Premiere.

Speaking with the cast---most of whom are formerly incarcerated playing themselves---and learning more about the film's unique financial structure, was nothing short of inspiring!

[Daniel Forkkio @DanielForkkio]

The U.S. two-party system, and every beneficiary of it, wants people to believe that election campaigns should take over a year and cost hundreds of millions to produce a good President.

[Marc Lamont Hill @marclamonthill]

I hate that no one has challenged this notion of "Black jobs."

[Daniel Forkkio @DanielForkkio]

What are “Black jobs?”

[Represent Justice @werepjustice]

Champions on and off the court. Congrats, @celtics 🏆
