NTRVW#40. Prison to Professor: Damon West, Be A Coffee Bean!

On parole for the rest of his life (2073), Damon West has spent the last 6 years of his freedom pursuing a mission to help others transform the world around them. He’s a nationally recognized speaker, author of a best-selling book, The Coffee Bean, professor of criminal justice, and founder of innovative charities. We sat down to talk about his book, The Change Agent, his views on correctional education, criminal justice, systemic racism, and his new projects Mister Coffee Bean, which funds the education of currently incarcerated black men to become elementary school teachers, and Coffee Bean CARES (Cultivating Activities and Relationships Through ExtraCurricular Scholarships), which provides scholarships to children of incarcerated parents.
