Straight-A Guide Commercial Featuring Michael G. Santos
July 18, 2013
For more than two years I have been leading the Michael G. Santos Foundation. With support from The California Wellness Foundation, and others, Michael Santos and I were able to create, design and implement a re-entry program. The program is based around Michael’s journey through federal prison. I am proud to announce that we have a new program that will soon be coming to market. The program includes 50 lesson plans, and 10 one hour videos, totaling 60-hours. I expect incarcerated juveniles who complete the 60-hour values based, goal oriented program to receive credit towards their high school diploma or GED. I know our re-entry program has authenticity because it was created by someone who lived the message through 25 years of imprisonment.
Recently, the foundation sponsored a video introducing the Straight-A Guide program. I attach the video below.

Guest Blog by Hilary Neiman–Advice for Lauryn Hill
May 13, 2013
Over the last few months I have formed a friendship with Hilary Neiman. In my calls with Hilary, I learned that she was once a distinguished attorney who in an out of character moment made a terrible mistake that cost her not just her law career, but also her freedom. In the coming weeks, I expect Hilary to really begin sharing the valuable lessons she learned as a result of her journey through the system.
