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. Please feel welcomed to join.

The Mirror in My Cell - Origin Story

I was arrested in late 2023, crossing the Belarusian border with 1.3 grams of marijuana in my raincoat.

Part II of Article 328 prescribed I would spend the next 3 - 7 years in prison.

From living a free and normal life in the West, to being crushed into a Belarusian cell, I was brought to a new mental plane.

In this episode I try to outline what the time looked like for me, and how I ended up meeting a truth and a way of looking at myself that I hope I can always remember.
