Listen "#179 - The Work of Getting Free: Redemption, Gratitude & Hope - with Shaka Senghor & Jerry Colonna"
Episode Synopsis
In this powerful episode of The Reboot Podcast, Jerry sits down with Shaka Senghor, author, mentor, and leading voice in criminal justice reform, for a tender conversation about transformation, freedom, and what it truly means to be redeemed. Together, Jerry and Shaka explore what it actually means to be free. They discuss how the deepest forms of imprisonment are not always physical, but are instead forged in our minds—made of grief, shame, anger, and old stories. Shaka shares how his path of healing, reading, and a practice of gratitude helped him reimagine his life, and how his writing became both a discipline of self-emancipation. Shaka reflects on the obstacles he continues to face as a returning citizen, and the quiet oppressions that persist even after release. Yet, through gratitude, storytelling, and mentorship, he lights a way forward; not just for himself, but for all who seek to break the cycles of suffering and step more fully into their lives.
