When former inmate turned community hero Kashif Jones shares his story, it's impossible not to be captivated by the sheer magnitude of personal transformation. Our latest episode follows Kashif's riveting journey from serving 11 years for homicide to becoming the heartbeat of change in Philadelphia.

This is a narrative of hope, forgiveness, and the relentless pursuit of unity.
With a voice that resonates with the wisdom of lived experience, Kashif delves into the importance of financial literacy and entrepreneurship as alternate paths to success.
