Restorative Justice, Streetwear, and Authenticity with Mashaun Ali Hendricks

In an adapted interview from their old Twitch show, Matt and Bianca chat with Mashaun Ali Hendricks about how he arrived at his calling as a restorative justice practitioner and visual artist owning Trap House Chicago. They walk through his journey to finding his calling, how other folks have tried to label him - for better and for worse - as his work and definitions of success evolved, and the relationships that have informed his definitions of success.
