S3 | EP 3: SYLVIA TASCON ~ Stepping into Greatness: Advocacy for Family, Justice, Fairness + Freedom for Her Incarcerated Father
Sylvia Tascon is a 2022 WE GOT US NOW Actionist from Houston, TX.
She is an Entrepreneur, Loctician and Daughter of Omar Torres Montalvo who continues to be incarcerated for the last 28 years in federal prison. 
In this episode of the WE GOT US NOW Podcast, Sylvia describes growing up as an introverted little girl due to the collateral consequences she experienced as a result of her father's incarceration. She highlights the wonderful, encouraging relationship her father has maintained with her throughout the years, despite the prison walls that separated them.
Motivated by the movement for social justice, Sylvia's interest in advocacy was peaked. She stepped out of the shadows of fear and pain and into the light of strength and advocacy. Yearning to be reunited with her father in the free world, she describes taking her sons to visit her father for the first time and the injustices they faced. As a daughter who experienced the devastating impact of parental incarceration for the majority of her life, she courageously advocates for the reunification of her family, fair sentencing, her father's freedom, and the wellbeing of all children and young adults with justice-impacted parents. 
This is an episode, not to be missed!
