    Nov 27 2025
    Welcome to Prison Pipeline, a podcast dedicated to exposing and dismantling the systems that funnel young people—especially those from marginalized communities—out of schools and into prisons. Hosted by Dwayne, who brings firsthand experience navigating the prison system, and Dr. Sissy- a surgeon, psychiatrist and passionate advocate for equity and justice, this show dives deep into America’s school-to-prison pipeline.


    Each episode, Dwayne & Dr. Sissy tackle tough questions: Why are so many students being pushed out of classrooms and into the criminal justice system? How do race, disability, and poverty play a role? Who benefits from these patterns, and what can we do to disrupt them?They also shine a spotlight on grassroots organizations and solutions making real change—from restorative justice programs to policy reforms.Whether you’re an educator, a parent, a policy maker, or someone eager to learn, Prison Pipeline arms you with the knowledge, tools, and hope you need to join the fight for justice.Tune in and be part of the movement to break the pipeline, find hope, and build a future where every young person gets to thrive.

Her writings reflect her personal journey and her message of hope and faith.


    Prophetess T Alma Collins Thomas faced significant physical, emotional, and practical challenges during her recovery from a massive stroke.Key challenges included:
    • Physical Dependence: In the initial stages, she was almost entirely dependent on others for basic tasks such as brushing her hair or using the restroom.
    • Mobility and Movement: She was a high fall risk and unable to walk or drive initially, requiring assistance and intensive physical therapy, including learning to walk up and down stairs which she found very scary. She mentions being in a wheelchair for a period of time.
    • Speech and Communication: She had difficulty speaking clearly, which made interactions with visitors overwhelming at times.
    • Health Management: Her blood pressure and blood sugar were initially difficult to control, requiring the right combination of medications to manage.
    • Emotional and Mental Struggles: Despite the immense support from family, friends, and co-workers, she felt helpless, “less of a woman,” and would cry to her husband, apologizing for not being the woman he married.
    • Loss of Normalcy: Her life changed in an instant, and she had to adapt to a completely new normal and a changed body image due to partial paralysis.
    • Daily Tasks: Basic activities that were once simple, like showering, dressing, and making meals, became major challenges that required relearning and immense effort.
    • Unforeseen Tragedies: Her stroke recovery was compounded by other major life events, including the loss of her son and a house fire, which added immense stress and hardship to her journey.
    • Ongoing Limitations: Even after significant progress, she continued to face challenges such as not being able to drive and potential permanent limitations in the function of her hand, though she remained determined to keep trying.
    Through it all, her faith was a central component of her recovery, helping her find purpose in her pain and inspiring her to help others facing their own battles. She even wrote several books while bedridden, using one finger, demonstrating her remarkable resilience.

    • A Love for Diverse Literature: Grimball noted that her “love for African American books sets [her] apart” and that she is “not being afraid to speak about my love for them”. This passion drives her mission to highlight underrepresented voices.
    • Professional Experience: Working for the Charleston County Library System for over 18 years, particularly in Adult Services, gave her deep insight into community reading habits and literary needs.
    • The Need for a Platform: Recognizing a gap in the availability or promotion of independent and diverse authors, she created the podcast to provide a dedicated space for interviews, reviews, and resources for these writers.
    Ultimately, “SC BookGal & Friends” is an extension of her work as a literary advocate, using media to connect authors with a wider audience and engage the community in the literary world.
