Echoing Green on The Today Show

A 2019 Echoing Green Fellow, Antoine Patton is a 32-year-old father who taught himself to code while he was incarcerated and then developed an app with his 13-year-old daughter that makes it easier for kids to communicate with their incarcerated parents.

As a result of PKPR’s work, Antoine and his daughter Jay Jay, as well as Echoing Green President Cheryl Dorsey, were featured in an amazing segment on The Today Show. It was part of Lester Holt’s Justice for All series looking at the state of justice in America.

PKPR raised the national profile of Echoing Green, the prestigious fellowship program whose alumni include Michelle Obama, Van Jones, and Wendy Kopp, by spotlighting its impact on emerging social innovators.

We secured targeted coverage for fellows in key diversity and philanthropy outlets such as Black Enterprise, Colorlines, WNYC, Philanthropy News Digest, Inside Philanthropy, and Impact Alpha. A major breakthrough came with a Today Show feature on fellow Antoine Patton and his daughter, alongside Echoing Green President Cheryl Dorsey, as part of Lester Holt’s Justice for All series—demonstrating PKPR’s ability to elevate mission-driven stories to national platforms.
