From Prison To Professor: The Stanley Andrisse Story!

What's up unscripted family! In this episode we are joined by our featured guest Stanley Andrisse, as he shares his story on how he went from prison to professor.

Growing up in Ferguson, Missouri, Stanley Andrisse began making poor decisions at a very young age. He started selling dope and was arrested for the first time at fourteen years old. By his early twenties, dope-dealing had exponentially multiplied, and he found himself sitting in front of a judge facing twenty years to life on drug trafficking charges. The judge sentenced him to ten years in a maximum-security prison. Prison was an experience like none other he’d ever encountered.

While challenged with a strong desire for self-renewal, he faced an environment that was not conducive to transformative change. From poor institutional structure and policies to individual institutionalized thinking and behaviors, he battled on a daily basis to retain and maintain his humanity. Upon release, and after several rejections, Stanley was accepted into a Ph.D. program. He completed his Ph.D./MBA simultaneously and became an endocrinologist and impactful leader at Johns Hopkins Medicine, specializing in diabetes research
