@BrantTracVC I am personally a terrible picker so I’m looking forward to letting AI do it for me

@StephenKing helped me write a book. He doesn’t know that. On Writing changed storytelling for me and his novels kept me going when I was empty.

I’d like to send him a copy of The Best Part of Prison from Ben Bella / Simon & Schuster. Anyone know how I can get it to him?

Sometimes people change our lives and never know it. I hope I can do the same with this book.

Five years ago today, I walked out of prison — not just a free man, but one given a second chance through a pardon from @VAGovernor73 Ralph Northam.

I had no idea what the road ahead would look like.

But I knew I wasn’t going back.

We had an amazing event with Dr. Jetson Luis-Leder talking with Kids in the juvenile detention center, adults in the jail and these client partners of The Fountain Fund about financial literacy and best practices when starting and running a business

Interesting that you’re trying to ban @tiktok_us yet in two days you’re speaking at a TikTok sponsored event.

Guess their dollars platforming your rhetoric is ok, though??

Check out what @million_book is doing. Just wow.

First annual 'Inside Literary Prize' judged by incarcerated people https://t.co/Zl1DWFFdaA

In 31 days, @VADOC has closed 4 prisons, assumed control of the only private prison, and reduced its incarcerated population by over 3.5% in a single day.

Shoutout to @ChadDotsonVA and his staff and the advocates and legislators who helped make this happen!

Amazing time with @BiancaTylek @real4realnews @avitale @keribla @PanezichCliff @StacyLynBurnet2 @LVikkiml

@ShawnWeneta @ACLUVA What’s that?!

[second_chancer @second__chancer]

@yorkcounty_da @NYCRPD That was one of the most shameful acts of prosecutorial misconduct I’ve ever seen. No investigation done, two years of suffering and then withholding evidence before admitting they couldn’t support their case.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is believing love is finding the right person. Love is becoming the right person.
