Lady Unchained | Behind Bars: On punishment, prison & release
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear poet, broadcaster, storyteller, TEDx speaker and mentor, Lady Unchained (Brenda Birungi) whose mission is to prove that there is life after prison. Through poetry she tells her own personal story and the stories of those with experience of the criminal justice system that are often left untold, because of shame, stigma and negative labels.
