I’m absolutely thrilled to share my latest piece published at the Resilience Education Reentry Review:
In this article, I delve into the challenges of re-entering the workforce with a criminal record, even when being fully transparent during the hiring process. I also recount my personal journey of facing rejection despite honesty and qualifications, highlighting the systemic barriers that persist in fair chance hiring.
Through this narrative, I aim to shed light on the importance of resilience, the need for supportive communities, and the ongoing fight for equitable employment opportunities for justice-impacted individuals.
This article is not just a personal reflection; it’s a call to action. We need to challenge hiring practices, push for fair chance employment, and create pathways where second chances are real, not just slogans. For justice-impacted individuals, transparency should not be a professional death sentence.
