This episode of #BlackMenCryToo features guest Peter, aka @p_fitness69, who was previously incarcerated (and previously on the pod! S2) and now focuses on personal reform through fitness training and cannabis. The episode takes place at one of his favorite studios, ConBody, in the Lower East Side of NYC, where all the instructors are formerly incarcerated individuals. The conversation delves into the societal pressures that can lead to the school-to-prison pipeline and how individuals can become programmed to perpetuate these cycles. The importance of mental health, therapy, and being seen as a protector and educator in the fitness space is also discussed. Tune in to this thought-provoking episode for more insight.
