Humans of San Quentin
Hear stories from people impacted by incarceration and learn how storytelling can challenge stereotypes, build compassion, and connect us to our shared humanity.
Join Diane Kahn, Executive Director of Humans of San Quentin, along with a formerly incarcerated contributor and local teen interns with the organization, for a conversation about the power of storytelling to challenge stereotypes, foster empathy, and create connection. Hear firsthand stories and learn how sharing personal experiences can give voice to people whose perspectives are often overlooked.
