I'm a direct product of the good deeds of Tony Lewis Jr. I'm a ex offender who did ten years in jail and now i'm celebrating 11 years at my job thanks to Tony
We love you Tony Lewis and we support you 100%, he's a great husband, father, son, advocate and overall good man... thank you Tony for being the man you are!!!!!
Thank you Breakfast Club for Interviewing Mr. Tony Lewis Jr. At first I was not going to click on the Interview but I'm so glad I did. I learned so much from this Brother. What caught my Attention was when he said "With Love comes Accountability" he didn't Glorify or Gloss over Issues but brought Clarity and Accountability. These are the Interviews that are Vital. I will be ordering the book as well.
Man, I remember living in D.C. for a couple of years in the late 90s. I was totally surprised by their own distinct fashion sense & music culture, but I jumped right in it. Wearing t-shirts by locally black-owned companies like DDTP, MoCo Sport, Hobo, AllDaz, Rugid, DaLinkWent, etc., the gray New Balance 990s, and thick gray sweats pulled up showing thick white socks, also pulled up lol...and the Gogo joints, oh man. Those nightclubs? DC Live, Republic Gardens, Quigley's, Mirage...Damn!
People always talking about excons getting jobs after prison. Good luck. It's hard to get a career with going to college and never committing a crime. The only solution is starting your own company and hiring your darn self and community.
"I was 25 teaching 50 yr old men!" I am one of those men... First word place on the board in the Project Empowerment Program that helps me still to this day, is the word; ACCOUNTABILTY. You are appreciated young-blood 4-REAL
This interview was definitely needed this guy is something very special we need him on a lot of issues that's happening every day in the Black Communities! 👌👌
So glad Y’all had Tony on!!!! This story must be told and it’s sad he lives in DC area and the White House don’t celebrate his cause for the community 😞
Thank you for this fantastic interview, this hits home for me. My Beloved has been incarcerated in the FBOP for the past 9 years as I raise our little girl and do my best to go on in society in a positive way. Throughout the years it has been a struggle and at times I’ve felt I was about to loose it. Prayer and keeping the communication open with my Beloved is what has kept us together.
This man definitely knows what he’s talking about. Especially when he elaborated on the disconnection between the teachers and students. As a shorty I use to visit my father in the feds on the weekend. I would get back to school on Monday, I wouldn’t be as enthusiastic or attentive. I might even act out or etc. Teachers wouldn’t even ask why or give the proper attention to the situation. I understand that might not be their job but I was just a kid wanting to cry out but I held it in for years. From 2nd grade to high school graduation. None of my teachers were black or ever pull me to the side and ask what was really going on. I can only imagine how many others felt this way or worse.
Very inspirational from a very intelligent brotha...we need more consciousness and positive living examples from those of us who have lived it and continue to live it... right here in dc...maryland...va....and all over...starting with myself.
Stop the Federal Bureau of Prisons from restricting access to books in prisons! ►
