Anye Young is graduating with a major in Dramatic Arts from USC. She is an advocate for prison reform and wrote the book Teen Guide to Living with Incarcerated Parents, published when she was 16. She has since shared the story of her experiences as the child of a father serving a 12-year prison sentence to help other teens in similar situations overcome shame they may feel due to social stigma, and upon graduation plans to be an actor, director and to continue her work as an advocate, speaker and producer of a documentary KIDS LIKE ME (forkidslikeme....)

The Pathfinder Network (thepathfindern...) is a non-profit organization founded in 1993 to provide justice system-impacted individuals and families the tools and support they need to be safe and thrive in our communities. In 2022, we founded the PATHfinder Club, an arts-based support club for youth impacted by detention, deportation, and incarceration. Our clubs invite members to Pave a Trail of Hope through art, expression, and community with support from staff with lived experience and wraparound support services.
In collaboration with Good Pictures (goodpictures.co), a video production company dedicated to social good, The Pathfinder Network is proud to present this free video library, Impacts of Incarceration-designed to educate, empower, and create meaningful change by sharing the stories, experiences, wisdom, and resilience of individuals impacted by incarceration. With this video library, our participants and partners offer their wisdom and guidance, with the goal of eliminating the shame and stigma connected to mass incarceration.
Impacted individuals often feel unsafe disclosing their experiences with the criminal legal system as they risk shaming and stigma. This is why people often are surprised to learn that 1 in 14 children in the United States has a parent who is or has been incarcerated and how that experience ripples through families and communities. Those impacted often experience depression, anxiety, addiction, isolation, fear of connection, confusion, interpersonal bullying, anger, and mistrust, but they are also resilient and powerful with much wisdom to share.
The library features interviews covering key topics. Interviewees include individuals who grew up with an incarcerated loved one, those who have been incarcerated, and those working with individuals and families impacted by incarceration. It is available, free of charge, to anyone seeking support, connection, guidance, and wisdom.

Love this! Everything Anye says resonates with me. I wish I had her sense of self and understanding when I was younger.

[@yaniralugorodriguez8404]

Great points ! Change should be gradual and we should give our self credit for the little progress and victories we have along our way.

[@ericshanazari4870]

I think a good way of looking at progress is to reach that "point B" in time and look back at what you've accomplished since "point A". Instead of just a pass/fail for meeting your goal, you can reflect on your experiences and efforts along that journey.
