    Walking Away From Hate: 2 Stories, 1 Conversation

    In this episode of #BeyondBarriers, we sit down for a real, #unfiltered conversation about leaving the white power movement & coming from two very different paths. We read excerpts from our books, reflect on what it took to face our pasts, and talk about the weight that comes with telling the #truth out loud. Writing these stories wasn’t easy. Living them was harder.This conversation goes beyond headlines and assumptions. It’s about #accountability, #identity, #healing, and what it actually looks like to walk away from something that once defined your life. #WalkingAwayFromHate #FromHateToHumanity #redemptionstory #leadership #breakingfree #transformation #truestory #exploited

    From Hate to Restorative Change

    Special guest Sean Gillespie shares his incredible story. From #abuse & #trauma to a lengthy prison sentence for #hate crimes to life altering positive change. Sean’s journey will shake you to your core and stir your soul. As a former neo-Nazi skinhead and member of the white supremacist organization, Aryan Nations, Mr. Gillespie's story will take you through an incredible path from a world of hate into a world of righteous change. A former leader, recruiter, organizer, propagandist, and violent terrorist for the white supremacist and neo-Nazi movement, he promoted hate, bigotry, and racism. He was sentenced to 39yrs in the Federal prison system for a racially motivated hate crime in 2004. Mr. Gillespie spent a total of 16 years in prison, 8 of which were served in America's most secure facility, A.D.X. Super-Maximum Control Unit. Mr. Gillespie was released from prison in 2020, after winning an appeal he filed pro se. Sean got a second chance on life and has been able to overcome the mistakes he made early on.  After turning his back on the white supremacist movement in 2008, Mr. Gillespie has been able to do a considerable amount of work to combat and fight hatred and extremism. He has assisted in the teaching of criminology students and written numerous articles against hatred. Mr. Gillespie was featured in the award-winning documentary series 'Indivisible: Healing Hate' (2022, Paramount Plus) narrated by Mandy Patinkin, as well as news interviews both locally and nationally.

In 2019, Jeff left the NSM and publicly denounced the  ideology he once espoused.  Once America’s most notorious neo-Nazi, now a  consultant for the Simon Wiesenthal Center and an inspirational speaker  for Conscious Campus, Jeff Schoep tirelessly holds talks, lectures and  workshops from his unique vantage point. He speaks with students,  communities, and law enforcement about the dangers of hate and  extremism.  In 2020, he founded Beyond Barriers, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit  organization dedicated to countering extremism and helping others change  their lives. He once was infamous – today, he is deadly serious about  combating extremism.  https://jeffschoep.com Follow Jeff Schoep: https://linktr.ee/jeffschoep   This video was produced by Beyond Barriers Media in association with  Underground Media Productions.
