Grow Your Vision

Truth for the Youth (Current Focus)A storytelling and education initiative pairing real letters from incarcerated individuals, survivors, correctional staff, and families with trauma-informed curriculum. The goal is to reach at-risk youth with raw, honest perspectives before they make irreversible choices. Currently developed in partnership with Prison Fellowship, this project is active and growing.

 

R.I.S.E. (Resilience, Insight, Self-Discovery, Empowerment)A healing-centered, peer-led group series designed for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. R.I.S.E. blends psychology, storytelling, and trauma-informed practices to support personal growth, emotional healing, and purpose-driven transformation. This 10-session program cultivates radical self-reflection and community accountability, helping participants rise into their brilliance.

 

Mentorship Hubs (Long-Term Vision)We envision creating regional hubs where formerly incarcerated individuals can mentor at-risk youth in their own communities. These hubs will offer guidance, connection, and support—bridging the gap between lived experience and prevention. This is the future of From Bars to Brilliance: community-led healing, powered by truth and trust.

Mirror & Anchor (In the works).A guided journey for prison wives and girlfriends who are ready to evolve their relationships—with their partners, and with themselves. Mirror & Anchor helps women examine the emotional dynamics of loving someone behind bars while cultivating self-awareness, emotional resilience, and healthy boundaries.

This program honors the dual role many women carry: being a mirror for their partner’s growth while staying anchored in their own identity, healing, and truth. Through group discussions, journaling, and trauma-informed workshops, Mirror & Anchor offers real tools for navigating love, loyalty, and transformation with clarity and compassion.
