Ep. 045 A Prisoner’s Wife No More w/ Shereese Floyd-Thompson

A few years ago Shereese (Reesey) watched the women’s 4 X 4 to the Olympic qualifier and in the last leg of the event, runner dropped the baton. But her reaction to the baton drop wasn’t one of disappointment or mild sadness. It was an ugly cry. And when she had an opportunity to process her reaction, Reesy realized that she was the one going in circles around the same track. She likened her life to being the baton, one that was less an person and more an object.

To be specific, she was holding up a facade as a prisoner's wife. Her husband was incarcerated. She was hiding that to everyone. As a result, Reesy felt invisible - lost in her husband’s narrative.

This became the activation energy, the catalyst, the ingredients for her to find her own story.

Reesy has an incredible story about finding her voice and having conversations with ostensible different people with different perspectives.

See Reesy in a limited live audience or live-stream on Saturday November 7, 2020 from 10am - 4pm EST at the College of Central Florida.
