“What was the hardest part about me being gone?”
Rowena Gore-Simmons runs a non-profit which helps formerly incarcerated women find housing and adjust to life outside the prison system.
But in 2001, Rowena was just getting out of prison herself. She was a recovering drug addict and had served time for theft.
Her daughter, Kenya, was 4 years old when Rowena was incarcerated, and wanted to ask her mom about her time in prison.
