Building Communities
w/Eric Anderson
The purpose of CelesteTheTherapist is to help shift the way you think. Many times, we get stuck in a negative cycle and struggle with getting out. Celeste will interview guests from different backgrounds who empower people in different capacities.
In this episode, Celeste is with Eric Anderson of Transformation Prison project to talk about his realities. Split into two, Eric has been thriving off from violence after violence. Witness his story and how restorative justice has helped him and his community change their reality into another. This episode speaks of survival and spaces that people are trapped from. Each story we share is wisdom, for you not to experience the struggle of another or for anyone to have courage to get out from it. Listen to his story and know what it means to be safer in your realities..
