On July 11th, Solano Prison held its second symposium of the year. This one was called "A Real Talk Symposium." Once again the force behind it was Dr. Kenya Williams, the principal of Solano's Education Department.

Genea Brice, the founder and CEO of WINGS (Women Inspiring the Next Generation of Sisters), a multi-ethnic mentorship program for girls, was slated to speak first.
