From Lived Experience to Leadership: Jasmine Milton on Forensic Peer Support and Healing Justice Ep. 112
In this episode of the Prison to Promise Podcast, Dr. Craig Waleed sits down with Jasmine Milton, a Forensic Peer Support Specialist and President of the Black Coalition of Forensic Peer Support Specialists based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Jasmine shares her journey of transformation—from navigating the challenges of involvement in the justice system to becoming a leading advocate for healing, equity, and representation in forensic peer work. Through her lived experience and professional insight, she discusses the power of peer support in bridging the gaps between systems and humanity, the importance of centering Black voices in reentry and recovery spaces, and how authentic connection can break the cycles of trauma and incarceration.
This conversation is more than a story of resilience—it’s a blueprint for change.
Tune in to hear how Jasmine and her colleagues are redefining what it means to heal, lead, and build hope from within our communities.
