Letting Go
Piper Kerman went on in her TED talk to explain how coming face to face with Cleary helped her. Both women were staying in a six woman cell for a crime from over a decade ago. Kerman explained the most important lesson learned was to “to let go of blame for her or anyone else about where I was.” Then her ex-lover, Cleary got shipped out to do more time in prison while Piper was getting released. Actually, she felt overcome by emotions and cried after saying goodbye. According to Kerman, they had reached a point where she “recognized our shared fate and humanity.”
