Show notes

Ep. 100 - Kie Kie is a photographer/artist based out of Mid City Los Angeles. I interviewed Kie a little over 2 years ago and has since been in and out of prison. I am grateful to have sat down with Kie in his home to talk about surviving prison, adjusting to life back home, and what it was like knowing he was going to leave his family. Kie is now back home continuing to create art and pursue his passion for photography. This is a powerful conversation that I truly believe is a testament of hope.
