Book Talk Over Brunch with Momoluu Stewart
Native Washingtonian Momolu S.K. Stewart, is a former juvenile lifer who was able to acquire his freedom through DC’s Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act (IRAA), a law that was recently passed in Washington, D.C.
Kim Kardashian-West was amongst many people who wrote a letter of support on behalf of Momolu after learning about his circumstances which proved to be beneficial in his case.
Momolu will join us on the Busboys and Poets stage to discuss his journey of being released from prison after 23 years and other themes in his autobiography “My Journey Home”. Momolu’s story shows that it is never too late to turn your life around and make a positive impact on the world.
Momolu S.K. Stewart is a Youth Advocate, Actor, Author, and Multi-Dimensional Artist best known for his inspiring story featured on Oxygen Network.
Full brunch service will be available
The Impact of Mass Incarceration is the first of "The Impact" series hosted by Busboys and Poets Books. Our weeklong program delves into the impact of mass incarceration and will address the inequities of the criminal legal system. The series will explore The Impact on victims, their communities, their families, and the lack of resources and commitment to reintegration.
Busboys and Poets strives to inform the public of why criminal legal reform is necessary and provide resources for those with a criminal record and allies in this fight to end mass incarceration. All are welcome, including those returning to their communities after incarceration. All events are free and open to all unless otherwise noted.
