her story.
when i was 13, a conversation with a formerly incarcerated woman changed my life.
it was the first time i saw humanity in someone who i would otherwise label as a criminal.
Since then, i’ve been interviewing formerly incarcerated folks across the united states. that’s when I noticed a jarring theme: the majority of people behind Bars lack access to basic hygiene products.
That’s why i founded beauty beyond bars in 2023. At Beauty Beyond Bars, we leverage donation, legislation, and conversation to ensure all have the opportunity to look good, feel good, and do good.
