Being a convicted Felon is very challenging to say the least...

Now, My reason for this post is this: I am still being turned down by society because of my past. An example is Uber. They will not allow me to use their app, same goes for Uber eats, Lyft, grubhub, door dash, etc.

Recently, I enrolled in a real estate training course. It is mandatory for new agents to obtain 45 hours training before being able to take the state exam. My question is this: Do I stand a single chance???

I feel as though, employers, and state board of directors, etc, only see my past....We have huge movements like #Metoo and BLM.... Those are great, I'm all for racial equality and the need for our society to hold bigots accountable....but somethings missing...

what about us with criminal records?? We deserve to not be judged by our poor decisions, but by the person we've become/are becoming...

not everyone was born "favorable skin color", upperclass or with money, or with a father figure to boot.

some of us had it rough and some never outgrew our addictions.

We need to stop limiting each other due to our criminal records and we all need to give each other a fair chance to SUCCEED at life!
