PaperTrails - S5 Episode 13 - He learned to love literature in prison
Description
Welcome to Paper Trails, a podcast by Inspyre UK, where we explore the stories and ideas that connect people through books, culture, and creativity.
In this episode, Mohamed and Sharmarke sit down with D.D. Armstrong — author of Ugly Dogs Don’t Cry. D.D. shares how his love for literature was born during his time incarcerated, and how reading became a tool for reflection, rebuilding, and ultimately, transformation.
Now an author, mentor, and community advocate, D.D. opens up about the power of storytelling to change lives and how he’s using his platform to give back to the communities that shaped him. It’s a conversation about redemption, creativity, and the generational impact of accessible literature.
