S3 Ep3: Path 2 Redemption with Lester Young
Today we're talking to Lester Young, founder of Path2Redemption. Path2Redemption offers assistance to those formerly incarcerated, at-risk youth, the homeless population, and anyone in need of resources and/or knowledge of receiving information providing outlets to assist with receiving resources. We also briefly talk about business and the books we're reading right now.
Lester Young Jr. is a native of Hilton Head Island, SC. At the age of 19, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole until 20 years had been served. Entering prison without the proper education was Lester's biggest struggle. With the support of family and friends, he was able to obtain his G.E.D. then later enroll in a Business Management Course (via mail) as a student of Ashworth College.
Lester began drawing attention from prison chaplains, correctional officers, as well as wardens for the interest he expressed in NOT only educating himself but encouraging others to educate themselves as well. With permission for the warden, He began meeting with Chaplain to create templates, course outlines, programs, and classes to instruct and mentor those incarcerated along side him. This is where the idea of "Path2Redemption" was born. He vowed that once he was paroled, he would continue his teachings to motivate others to continue on their own path to redemption.
And One year after his release, He started "Path2Redemption".

Ep. 4: Hair Loss - Postpartum & Other Forms of Alopecia
Hair loss affects 50 million men and 30 million women in the U.S. Postpartum hair loss affects 40-50% of moms. What are some causes hair loss? Can postpartum hair loss be prevented? Tia and our producer Thelisha tackle this huge topic, tell their own stories of postpartum hair loss and we hear some stories from the ALB Fam!
Show Notes:
What is alopecia?
Baldness. There are many types of alopecia, each with a different cause. Hair loss is often caused by genetics, that is, it runs in families. Some other causes are:
- high fever
- childbirth
- severe infection
- chronic or severe illness
- severe psychological stress
- major surgery
- over or underactive thyroid
- crash diets
- medications, such as retinoids, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, antidepressants, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs).
Postpartum hair loss
Changes related to your hormone levels before, during and after pregnancy can affect hair growth. It’s completely normal to experience hormonal imbalance after giving birth, and one of the symptoms of hormonal imbalance is postpartum hair loss.
The medical term for postpartum hair loss is telogen effluvium. The condition, which is also referred to as postpartum alopecia, is relatively common, affecting between 40-50% of women in the months following childbirth.
Postpartum hair loss occurs after childbirth because of the sudden change of hormones in your body, particularly the change between progesterone and estrogen.

Ricki Lake on GMA talk about her hair loss journey
Traction Alopecia
Traction alopecia is caused over time by constant pulling on hair roots. Hairstyles that cause tension on the hair follicles such as tight braids, or "corn rows," often cause this condition. It may also be caused by chemical straightening or weaving. The sooner this condition is diagnosed the easier it is to treat, and if left untreated over a long period of time the hair loss may become permanent. Wearing hair in styles that are looser and do not pull on the roots is often the best way to prevent this type of hair loss.
