Louis L. Reed

In this episode, we sit down with Topeka K. Sam, founder of LOHM, and Glenn E. Martin, founder of JLUSA and CEO of GEM Real Estate. Both Topeka and Glenn have firsthand experience with the criminal justice system, and their work has had a profound impact on reform efforts in the United States.

Topeka, who has personally experienced incarceration, founded LOHM (Ladies of Hope Ministries), which has played a pivotal role in advocating for the rights of incarcerated women. Glenn's journey, marked by his own encounters with the justice system, led him to establish JLUSA, empowering those affected by incarceration to become leaders in the fight for reform.

In our conversation, we explore the challenges and triumphs of navigating the non-profit industrial complex, the importance of family support, and the journey of individuals who have been "justice-impacted." Through their stories and insights, Topeka and Glenn provide a compelling look into the realities of advocating for change within the criminal justice system and in business.
