The scarlet "F" | Honey Jo Herman | TEDxMonroeCorrectionalComplex 2014

Honey Jo Herman presents a talk that examines the reality of an offender's life beyond being released, and how the stigma of being a felon can seep into all aspects of life. Honey Jo is honored to have worked with The IF Project since 2010 and Pioneer Human Services since 2013. She is motivated to share the story of her successful transition from prison back to her community as a means of inspiring others who are going through transitional periods of their lives. As the mother of four children, she is empathetic to the painful difficulties that incarcerated parents face when separated from their children. She is at her happiest when she sees others take steps to improve their lives and realize their potential.
