By MONTEZ WILLIAMS
Giving people a second chance is woven into the fabric of our country. However, as nice as a clean slate sounds, it’s often difficult, if not impossible to get a second chance after incarceration. As a Black man, and a man who was formerly incarcerated, I am intimately aware that injustice comes in multiple forms; some systematically, because of the hardships I faced, and others socially due to the color of my skin.
Entrepreneurship was my tool to rising above discrimination and creating my own path to opportunity.
