PRODUCER. SPEAKER. AUTHOR.
NOW, MORE THAN EVER THE WORLD NEEDS MORE HUMAN BRIDGES.
Artie Gonzales is the creative who almost never was.
A juvenile-tried-as-an-adult at age 16, he spent 21-years of a Life sentence in the California prison system, eight of which included housing within Pelican Bay’s notorious super-max Solitary Confinement unit.
His platform challenges preconceived notions about what it means to be “System-Impacted,” and creates a fresh narrative as a new voice for this generation of bold storytellers.
LESSONS FROM A LIFER is a first-of-its-kind series that seeks to bridge the gap between justice-impacted people and society-at-large.
