The Daily Former
The Daily Former is here to ensure you know one thing- you're not alone.
Angela is the Director of Special Projects at Life After Hate and a co-founder of the organization. She exited violent far-right extremism in the 90s and has dedicated the last two decades of her life to realizing that the more she learns, the less she knows.
Listen to Formers, friends, experts, journalists, and anyone the TDF crew thinks is worth the time to talk about change, fear, freedom, everything we like and don't like about having our worst moments broadcast worldwide, and more (we contain multitudes!).
If you're thinking about leaving but don't know where to go, or think this stuff is interesting, hang out for a while. We're always around.

Ask a Former - Episode 3
In this episode of Ask a Former, the team answers questions submitted by a senior graduate student working on a thesis. The theme of this one is how tattoos shape identity within hate groups and the challenges faced during and after exit. Interestingly, four out of five of the team have or had violent far-right-related tattoos. Why is that significant and what can we learn from it? The team touches on tattoos, growing beyond the symbols of the violent far-right, and how former extremists transform their mistakes into teachable moments for others who exit violent extremism.
