Testimonial From the
Talk 2 Me Foundation
Antoine Day
Antoine Day was convicted of first-degree murder in 1992 and was sentenced to sixty years in prison. After serving a decade in prison, Antoine’s conviction was overturned with the help of his attorney, Howard Joseph. While some exonerees stand in the limelight upon release, Antoine quietly picked up the pieces of his life. He initially took employment in the construction field, and today he is the Outreach Coordinator of Prison Reentry at the Howard Area Employment Resource Center. In this position, Mr. Day mentors at-risk teens and parolees, implements job training and placement programs and runs neighborhood stabilization and anti-violence programs. Antoine’s work helps to better inside and outside Illinois state prisons.
Nerika Jenkins
Nerika Jenkins was convicted of a crack cocaine for a drug conspiracy and was sentenced to 19 years in federal penitentiary. While in prison Jenkins took vocational classes -- masonry, carpentry, painting, culinary arts, Microsoft Excel and horticulture -- while serving time in Philadelphia and Danbury, Conn. After 11 years of improsinment, Nerika vowed to bounce back into society. March 2018, A Woman’s Worth Project was birthed by Nerika Jenkins in conjunction with her own experience as a returning formerly incarcerated female back into society.
