Dwayne Lester Jr. Uses Experience To Advocate for Incarcerated People


Dwayne Lester Jr. is an inspiring story of someone making a difference in Black communities.

After seeing the impact the criminal justice system had on him and his family, he was inspired to help incarcerated people get a shot at a better life, both inside prison and after they’re released.

β€œTic Toc Innovations,” the program Lester Jr. founded nearly a decade ago, is now being used in the correctional system to help with mental health services, job training and much more.

He joins Yodit Tewolde from North Carolina on β€œMaking the Case” to discuss his story and the program.

All this and more on β€œMaking the Case.”
