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.
