#45 | From the School to Prison Pipeline to the TEDx Stage W/ LeRon Barton
Manage episode 503585496 series 3679915
From being labeled and pushed toward the school-to-prison pipeline to standing confidently on the TEDx stage, LeRon Barton’s story is one of resilience, courage, and transformation.
In this episode, LeRon shares his personal journey of overcoming systemic barriers, the role writing played in shaping his voice, and how he uses storytelling to challenge narratives around race, masculinity, and redemption. We dive into the power of mentorship, the importance of second chances, and how leaders can create environments where young people are seen for their potential, not their mistakes.
Whether you’re an educator, leader, or anyone passionate about equity and impact, this conversation will inspire you to reimagine what’s possible when we lead with empathy and purpose.
