Education changed my life, like it has a lot of other people.
Rick James' story is one of unwavering dedication to service, starting from his teenage years in Norfolk, VA. At just 17, he joined the US Army, sparking a passion for helping others that has only grown stronger over time. After his military service, Rick transitioned into a career as a police officer and eventually became an attorney. But retirement didn't slow him down.
Instead, he continued his mission by partnering with the NAACP and the Norfolk Sheriff's office to create a learning center for inmates. This initiative aims to equip inmates with the education they need for a better life upon re-entry into society. In this episode of 'Narrativity with Dr. Antipas', Rick discusses the transformative power of education and the importance of social engagement and job opportunities for returning citizens.
His story is a testament to how one person's commitment can create ripples of positive change in a community. If you're looking for inspiration to make a difference, Rick's journey is a must-listen.
