Episode 90: What’s Free (Ft. Kenneth Thompson)

This week on the Dads in Progress podcast we sit down with Kenneth Thompson, Director of Programs and Outreach for the 8th District Council of Philadelphia, reform advocate, and proud father. Kenneth opens up about navigating fatherhood after serving a 16-year federal sentence, rebuilding his relationship with his three sons, a grandchild, and another child on the way. He reflects on the challenges of reentry, the lessons he’s learned as a father, and the ways he is now giving back to the same community where he grew up. From his personal journey of resilience and redemption to his work in the 8th District creating opportunities and driving change, this is a powerful and inspiring conversation about fatherhood, second chances, and what freedom truly means.👉 Don’t forget to subscribe, like, and share to join the conversation.
