Dr. Thompson grew up in Greensboro, NC and, at a young age, was witness to the Greensboro Massacre. Following the events, she noticed the growing popularity of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission; a new way of healing. Then, using her own experiences and knowledge of creative writing (MFA from Fairleigh Dickinson), Dr. Thompson started her own writing center around the Chester community. She is active in S.C.I. Graterford and S.C.I. Chester by offering Restorative Justice programs for incarcerated men to get an education while in prison. She even published an anthology titled Letters to My Younger Self, where prisoners of S.C.I. Graterford wrote their own stories. This episode will open your mind to the power of writing.
