In this conversation, Jessy talks about visible Indigeneity, intersections of incarceration, addiction, and houselessness. He also discusses maintaining connection with a parent experiencing chronic houselessness, concepts of non-police based safety, and finding and fostering joy through experiences of hardship and trauma.
