💜 Special Thanks to Andrea Triplett
Region 5 Recovery Advisory Council | 2025 First Peer-Led Recovery Conference
At the Region 5 Recovery Advisory Council’s First Peer-Led Recovery Conference at Hub757 in Suffolk, Virginia, Conference Coordinator Keira Moore selected Andrea Triplett to serve as Shawn A. Barksdale and 10 Minutes of Truth’s personal assistant during the event — and she was nothing short of amazing.
Andrea met every challenge with professionalism, grace, and focus. She anticipated problems before they became problems, ensured each guest arrived on time, helped with release forms, and made sure everyone had what they needed — from finding restrooms to getting prepared for their interviews.
Her attention to detail and dedication kept the podcast series running smoothly from start to finish.
We truly could not have done it without her.
Thank you, Andrea, for being a shining example of what it means to bridge the gap through service and excellence. 💜

What is Ten Minutes of Truth with Shawn A. Barksdale?
The show is about truth and how telling it can be cathartic and helpful to many! Look for Shawn to challenge his guest, to tell the truth, be transparent, and offer their life’s personal perspective on the many obstacles they have overcome. Shawn will place a special emphasis on prison life, how it affects the prisoner, his friends, and family. You will be amazed at how successful some have become after facing a portion of their life behind bars.
