Germanna partnered with Failsafe-ERA on April 13 to host the Right Road Re-Entry Resource Fair geared to help formerly incarcerated citizens make a successful return to the outside world.
The event hosted a panel discussion, a talk about mental health, and shared employment opportunities and ways Germanna can help.
The keynote speaker was Latrone Huggins, a former prison inmate whose hope is, βto change the world through my experiences, break the cycle of self-destruction, and empower returning justice-impacted citizens to do great things."
Huggins started a new career at Canon Solutions America as a field tech servicing Greensboro, North Carolina, and Danville and Lynchburg in Virginia. βI feel so much pride in the fact that this company believes in me, and I in it,β he says.
This summer, he will begin his studies at Liberty University, seeking a degree in criminal justice with a focus on youth justice.
A business started by Huggins and his wife, Pivot Management Group, LLC. assists justice-impacted individuals with entrepreneurial business start-ups.
