Returning citizen aims to end digital divide

Out of DC, Mission: Launch cofounder Teresa Hodge spent 2006 to 2011 in prison. After just 5 years, technology had changed drastically when she returned.

Hodge made it her mission to eliminate the digital divide for currently and formerly incarcerated people. So, she and her daughter Laurin cofounded the Baltimore nonprofit in 2012 to make the reentry process easier for formerly incarcerated people, mainly through employment hackathons and other events.
