On this week's episode, Erin Gruwell is joined by original Freedom Writers, Melvin Logan and Carlos Barragan. Both Carlos and Melvin are inspiring and loving fathers who share what it was like growing up in Long Beach surrounded by poverty, racism, and gang violence. They discuss their survival, how they turned their pain into purpose, and breaking the cycle of generational trauma to prevail as the loving fathers they are today. This episode is a heartfelt look into what it means to be a dad, and we hope that this episode leaves you all feeling enlightened and empowered to make a difference.
