Addict-turned criminal justice reformer stars on 40,000 Steps Radio podcast

14

Morgan Godvin, founder of Beats Overdose, is the latest guest on the 40,000 Steps Radio podcast.

Then a heroin addict, Godvin did 5 years in prison after selling the drugs that killed her close friend. Despite being unable to rent an apartment or adopt a child because of her felony status, she finished her college education and became a force in criminal justice reform. She was a driving force behind the decriminalization of drug possession in the state of Oregon.

Morgan is an editor of a law publication, and through Beats Overdose, she collaborates with hip-hop legends Atmosphere and Cypress Hill to provide harm reduction education and resources at concerts.

The 40,000 Steps Radio podcast is available on all platforms. Learn more about the pod and its host, Christopher Heimerman, at 40000steps.com.
