Manage episode 356548897 series 3429897
Kenny Robinson is the founder and executive director of non-profit organization Freedom Fighting Missionaries Inc. in Charlotte, North Carolina which assists formerly incarcerated and justice involved individuals reenter society. They provide services and resources that lead to self sufficiency. Mr. Robinson started Freedom Fighting Missionaries because he didn’t want those returning from jails and prisons to face the struggles that he did.
He served a 10 year federal sentence and was released in 2012. Mr. Robinson struggled to find a job because of his background. He visited over a dozen non-profits and was refused a job 40 times in a row before finally being hired by Goodwill making $7.25 per hour. Mr. Robinson shares his story of struggling with reentering society post-incarceration, how he overcame this tremendous adversity, and how he's using this experience to help others today.
