Second chances and redemption | Latoya Mcduffie | TEDxWilmingtonSalon 2015

LaToya McDuffie is 33 years old and was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. When she came to BWCI (Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution), 9 1/2 years ago, she was 24 years old with a 9th grade education. She has since obtained her GED and high school diploma, has completed two college courses, and transformed into a virtuous woman. LaToya has benefited from growing up at BWCI by working through her issues while attending Mental Health groups and counseling. She has become a mentor and a “big sister” to some of her peers.
