The Other Side of a Dollar

American Dreams Podcast

In this episode of American Dreams: Reproductive Justice we introduce you to three men whose individual stories intersect through violence, struggle and ultimately success and investment into the community that shaped them.

High unemployment rates, broken infrastructure, crack cocaine and gang violence plagued the inner city of Detroit during the 1980’s. Families struggled to piece together any resemblance of an American Dream without the resources or the comfort needed to rest well or long enough to dream.

Alvin Hill, Cinceré Al’Talet, and Phillip Sample give us a glimpse into what it’s like to walk in their shoes. Their experiences are laid out in a raw and unapologetic way that gives space for us to understand how you could end up incarcerated and how you can also become powerful educated community leaders.

Their story continues in episode 5.
