SOUTHHAVEN, Miss. (AP) – Kim Kardashian West and Alice Marie Johnson, the woman President Donald Trump freed from life in federal prison, say they won’t stop advocating for other people serving long sentences for non-violent drug offenses.
The women appeared together in an interview NBC’s “Today” show aired Thursday after they met face to face for the first time.
Johnson says she plans to continue to work on behalf of inmates still behind bars.
“I plan on continuing to magnify this issue. I can’t stop,” she said. “I’ve lived it, I’ve walked with them, I’ve cried with them. My life is completely intertwined forever with those were left behind.”
NBC reports that Kardashian West says she’s already brought other cases to the White House, using her status as a reality TV celebrity for the greater good.
