Larry Miller's Remarkable Story of Resilience and Redemption is a testament to the transformative power of education and second chances. From his upbringing in West Philly to his involvement in gang life, Miller's journey took a tragic turn when he committed a crime at 16, resulting in imprisonment. However, while incarcerated, he seized the opportunity to pursue education, earning his GED and eventually becoming valedictorian. Determined to rewrite his story, Miller pursued higher education and later rose to prominence as Chairman of Nike’s Jordan brand.
Despite concealing his past for years, he found the courage to share his journey in his book, "Jump: My Secret Journey from the Streets to the Boardroom." In his insightful podcast interview with Orijin co-founder Arti Finn, Miller advocates for systemic change in supporting justice-impacted individuals through education and reintegration programs. His story serves as a powerful reminder of the potential for redemption and the importance of creating opportunities for all to thrive. Listen to the podcast for more on his inspiring journey.
