How do we end America's drug war for good? with Christina Dent of End It For Good - Part 1

Christina Dent is a mother, foster parent, and executive director of the nonprofit End It For Good, a christian Mississippi based company that aims to end the drug war in America using compassion.

From a young age, Christina was raised to believe a certain set of principles.

She believed that people who went to jail for drugs were supposed to be incarcerated, that they were mere criminals and nothing further.

Then she met some of the children''s parents who she was fostering during incarceration, and the love of one incarcerated mother changed her path forever.

We discuss the criminalization of substances and how it affects and increases production of illegal substances, the story of how listening with empathy led Christina's life path to change, and how she was able to not only make a change of heart, but a change of mindset about how she views other people.

This episode is so impactful, it will be a two part series. If you've ever thought about someone else as unforgivable, you should listen around the 40 minute mark.
