Hey Yall Welcome to Adjacent Podcast!

We are introducing a lovely, kind, amazing friend today, Luressa Smith! Luressa came all this way to talk about how she conquers challenges in life with a positive attitude and zeal for life. We talk raising kids, grandkids, tragedy, success, and what life brings us. You will love listening to this kind-hearted loving human as she models what positivity truly means.

And you're a picture of strength, and grace and beauty! (This is the Lyric that always reminds me of Lovey Luressa from Turnpike 7&7)

Hey Yall

We want to welcome Dr. Christian Bolden.

In our previous episode Mary Wynn shared the story about a student name Christian Bolden. We tracked him down to hear the story from his perspective and we were even more moved.

Christian Bolden earned his Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Central Florida and Masters in Sociology from Texas State University-San Marcos. His areas of research include gang histories and processes, mass incarceration, and human trafficking. His recent book Out of the Red: My Life of Gangs, Prison, and Redemption received the 2020 Frank Tannenbaum Outstanding Book Award from the American Society of Criminology’s Division of Convict Criminology. Dr. Bolden also received the 2021 Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award from the College of Liberal Arts at Texas State University San Marcos and the 2021 Faculty Senate Award for Research from Loyola University New Orleans. In 2012-2013, Dr. Bolden was the “Futurist in Residence” research fellow for the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit.

Dr. Bolden’s other activities include participation in the Modern Slavery Research Project, which resulted in the (2015) report “Trafficking and Exploitative Labor Amongst Homeless Youth in New Orleans.” Some of his publications on gang social networks can be found in Group Processes & Intergroup Relations, on gang joining and desistance in Criminal Justice Review, on gang membership fluidity in Deviant Behavior, and the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice.

Grab his book, we will be discussing in book club!
