How do you survive 8,057 days in solitary confinement for a crime you didn’t commit, only to emerge with a heart full of love instead of anger?
In this unforgettable episode of The Loida Lewis Podcast, Mrs. Loida sits down with the extraordinary Nick Yarris. Nick spent 23 years on death row before DNA evidence finally proved his innocence. He opens up about finding his humanity through literature, his philosophy of "neuroplasticity healing" to erase PTSD, and a surprising, deeply moving connection to a pen pal in the Philippines.
Nick also talks about what it’s like to have his life adapted into the hit Broadway play, The Fear of 13, starring Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson, and shares his ultimate lesson: “You forgive to the level of love you give a human being.”
Don't forget to follow the podcast and share this episode with someone who needs a little hope today.
