To say that Morgan Godvin has had an unconventional life is an understatement. Morgan grew up with two mothers and always knew that her father was a sperm donor. She was very bright and excelled in school, but an emptiness inside, along with being bullied, led her to drugs. Addiction also ran in her family. She lost her mother and several close friends to overdose. Eventually, Morgan wound up in prison. Morgan just graduated from college at the top of her class and is now working to end overdose and overhaul the criminal justice system when it comes to drug crimes. She had a lot to say in this podcast that everyone needs to hear.
