Turns out I do two things really well, at Further The Work.
I look under the rocks,
to see what's beneath.
Sometimes, clients come to me with a problem — juvenile justice fees are high and arbitrary, or a county insists it needs to build a bigger jail — and my job is to discover the truth behind the claim.
I put up the periscope,
to make sense of the landscape.
Other times, clients bring me a question — how do we make reentry more effective, or how can we create a better response to people repeatedly arrested for conduct related to their behavioral illness — and my job is to build a new approach.
If you’ve got a problem like that, come talk to me, or see what I do.
