I'll start by saying that I want to thank Kim for your advocacy and for using your platform in a way that has really lifted up the importance of talking about and being dedicated to Second Chances.
00:21.2
And you're going to speak in a moment, but I really thank you for being here. And Mayor Benjamin, of course, for moderating the conversation.
00:27.5
So, I'm a big believer in the power of redemption. It's an age-old concept that transcends religions, but is fundamentally about an understanding that everybody makes mistakes.
00:45.5
And for some, that might rise to the level of being a crime. But is it not the sign of a civil society that we allow people a way to earn?
00:57.5
They're a way back. And give them the support and the resources they need to do that.
01:10.4
While we have been here then at the White House, we've done a number of things that have been about allowing people Second Chances through understanding the obstacles that also still exist within society that prevent people from taking advantage of a Second Chance.
01:25.5
For example, there have been...
01:27.5
There have been long-standing restrictions on access to opportunities such as small business loans.
01:32.5
So, recently, we announced that we are changing the way that we think about who is eligible for small business loans and have, for the first time, said that folks with a criminal conviction can qualify for small business loans.
01:55.5
We have expanded Pell Grants.
01:57.5
For people who are currently incarcerated.
02:00.5
Understanding that there are a lot of folks who are inside who do, while they are there, want to enhance their education so that when they come out, they can get a job that allows them a quality of life and living that can allow them to take care of themselves and their families.
02:16.5
He asked me to do a paper for him. And he was under the... He was being watched already by the FBI, so...
02:22.5
I just wanted to start off by thanking you, Madam Vice President, for hosting this event.
02:25.5
Thank you, Madam Vice President, for hosting this event today.
02:28.5
And just for your deep commitment to Second Chances.
02:32.5
Also, I wanted to thank President Biden for all of the commutations and the pardons that are happening.
02:44.5
I am super honored to be here to hear your stories today.
02:50.5
And I think it's so important to share them and amplify them.
02:53.5
Because there's so many people that are in your position that can use the inspiration.
03:00.5
And I just... I'm so honored to be here to continue this fight and to learn more every day, every visit, every administration.
03:13.5
I'm just here to help and to spread the word.
03:17.5
So, I'm so excited to be here and hear your stories.
03:20.5
So, thank you for being here.
03:23.5
Thank you for having me.
03:24.5
I'm glad to be here.
03:25.5
Everybody in this room, I appreciate you guys.
03:28.5
And I believe this is my brothers and sisters now.
03:31.5
Because we all have a similar story.
03:33.5
I used to think, well, the goal is just to get out, right?
03:39.5
And then everything's all good.
03:40.5
And then everything is just perfect.
03:42.5
In my head, not knowing...
03:45.5
I was so naive to think that that's what...
03:50.5
That's all that was needed.
03:52.5
And then as you get out and you realize, oh, there's hurdle and obstacle and hurdle and obstacle every step of the way.
04:01.5
And to just know that there are people that are dedicated and committed to changing that and to helping people really start their businesses, create a real life for themselves.
04:13.5
It's just inspiring and what pushes me to want to continue to do the work that I do.
04:19.5
So, I'm learning every step of the way.
04:21.5
Of what needs to be done.
04:23.5
And I think a super important part of it is just telling your stories.
04:30.5
So that people that are in the position to help can open up their hearts and learn along the way with us of what needs to be done.
