b'One of the real pleasures of this job is helping people doing good tell their stories. Today I have two inspiring stories to share. I met Rashawn Alexander aka Uncle Wood first behind the walls of Graterford Prison. His story is the journey of an incarcerated 16-year-old and the man he\\u2019s grown into with the help of mentors he met along the way. Uncle Wood is out after 20 years and he\\u2019s doing good \\u2013 mentoring and speaking to young people and starting a nonprofit.

We begin with the re-airing of an interview I did last year. Reducing violence in the city can seem like an impossible job but there are people doing great work. I\'ll be telling you about a program called YEAH Philly co-founded by Executive Director Kendra Van de Water. This is a Black-Led, Community-Based Nonprofit that works with teens and young adults in West and Southwest Philadelphia ages 15 to 24 who have been impacted by violence.
