Marlon stated , If people can’t find opportunities, if people can’t find employment, if people can’t find housing, it’s almost like you’re forcing people to go back to a lifestyle that they may not necessarily want to go back to,” Marlon is changing the narrative and is truly Escaping the Odds. @Marlonchamberlain IG --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aaronesmith/support
