In each prison cell, a story.
For those who look, a mirror.
I was imprisoned in Belarus.
But amidst darkness, insight - understanding of who I am and what is true.
When you hear about prisoners, you might read them as powerless, impulsive characters.
But I've found more strength, choice and wisdom in these stories than I'd ever expected...
I'm trying to make sense of what I learnt in that place, and how it applies to life beyond.
Some incredible people are helping me.

Fighting Food Insecurity, to Life in Prison - CEO Qasim Javaid's Life Slows Down
Qasim is the CEO of Rizq, an organisation fighting food insecurity and redistribution across South Asia, partnering with huge multinationals in the process.
Qasim was mistakenly arrested after wide scale unrest in Pakistan. His charge sheet promised life imprisonment.
Over five and a half months, he navigated the journey of prison life, reflecting on knowing oneself, where freedom lies, and the richness of connection.
