This week’s episode of the #Decarcerated podcast features founder of Ladies of Hope Ministries, Topeka K. Sam. Created to help disenfranchised & marginalized women transition back into society, Topeka has also created a safe place for women and girls to call home after being released from jails and prisons. In this episode she shares her inspiration behind Hope House NYC and also gives us a look into her entrepreneurial spirit...having owned a cell phone and sex toy business in the past. Topeka is a Soros Justice Fellow and is featured in Van Jones’ #cut50 “Dignity” campaign.
