S2| EP2: ANYE YOUNG - LIFE, SCHOOL + SELF PUBLISHED AUTHOR
Anyé Young is a courageous youth advocate for prison reform best known for the book she self-published when she was 16 years old: Teen Guide to Living With Incarcerated Parents (#TGLWIP). Since the release of her book, Young has shared her story and experiences as a child with a father serving a 12-year prison sentence — for a non-violent offense under mandatory minimum laws — to help teens in similar situations overcome the shame they may feel due to social stigma. She offers #TGLWIP as a guide for teenagers, like her, who are determined to succeed in life no matter the circumstances. Young continues to share her story along with lessons learned while coping with the challenges of life away from her father and in a single-parent home. She was awarded a 4-year tuition scholarship at the University of Southern California and is currently a rising junior. She majors in Dramatic Arts. She was also awarded a $10,000 scholarship to help cover some of her college expenses. This scholarship was presented to her by ScholarChips and funded in whole by The Family Foundation in Silver Spring, Maryland.
