Scott Talks to Yusuf Dahl
In this thought-provoking podcast episode, host Laura Cathcart Robbins and her co-host, Scott Slaughter, converse with Yusuf Dahl, an entrepreneur, educator, and advocate. Dahl shares his compelling journey from a troubled youth and prison sentence to becoming a Princeton graduate and a staunch advocate for housing reform. The discussion highlights Yusuf's early life in Milwaukee, his experiences with the juvenile and prison systems, and how he transformed his life with the help of mentors and sheer determination. Central to the conversation is the Thurman Amendment, a law allowing housing discrimination against individuals with drug distribution convictions. Yusuf passionately details his efforts to raise awareness and work towards repealing this outdated and damaging legislation, emphasizing the impact on communities of color and personal stories of resilience and action. The episode sheds light on systemic issues, personal redemption, and the power of advocacy to drive change.
