The gig economy is booming — but for many formerly incarcerated individuals, it's more than a side hustle. It’s a lifeline.

In this episode, host Antoine Rivers explores how platforms like Uber, DoorDash, Fiverr, and Instacart are offering returning citizens a way to rebuild their lives — one gig at a time. But it’s not all flexibility and freedom. We break down the barriers, from tech literacy to lack of benefits, and spotlight the strategies that actually work.

💡 What you'll hear in this episode:

• • Why 70% of returning citizens struggle to find traditional jobs
  • How gig work is helping some individuals take control of their futures
  • The dark side of gig labor: misclassification, instability, and burnout
  • Real success stories — including a man who turned bike deliveries into a full-time business
  • Reentry programs and partnerships making a difference
  • A call to action to share, support, and shift the narrative

• 
  

  Whether you're navigating reentry yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode sheds light on the real-life grind — and the real hope — behind the gig economy.
