Life After Next
Breaking Chains, Building Futures
Life After Next is more than just a nonprofit—it's a movement born from personal transformation. Founded by Soul Brotha and Michelle Wood, we empower formerly incarcerated, at-risk youth, and system-impacted individuals with the tools to champion their next life.
Our mission is simple yet profound: We walk with our members all the way home.
Our Vision
At Life After Next, we work tirelessly to:
- Reduce recidivism and improve community safety
- Challenge and change societal stigma around formerly incarcerated individuals
- Prevent incarceration before it happens
- Advocate for reduced sentences and meaningful rehabilitation
- Support policy changes for more effective re-entry programs
The Revolution Continues
The same revolutionary spirit you hear on Café Revolution fuels our work at Life After Next. We believe that true community transformation happens when we combine honest conversation with direct action.
The microphone isn't the only tool for change—it's also mentorship, education, employment assistance, and creating pathways to success that many have never been shown.

A Message from Soul Brotha 9
"From my own journey out of life imprisonment to founding Life After Next, I've learned that transformation isn't just possible—it's inevitable when people are given the right support. The same revolutionary love we discuss on the podcast takes physical form through this organization. Join us not just as listeners, but as fellow revolutionaries creating the world we want to see."

The mic is hot, the movement never stops, and until love is kind to family, friend, and foe—neither will we.
