A collection of photos capturing us in action changing public perceptions and advocating for our people.
Each year, we come together to celebrate our freedom, success, and community by reclaiming the narrative around what it means to be a so-called “villainous” woman. This gathering is a celebration of who we truly are and a bold challenge to the stereotypes placed on formerly incarcerated women and queer people.
As of October 2020, there were 592 youth incarcerated in Texas's youth prisons, which are operated by the Texas Department of Juvenile Justice (TJJD). Every December, we host community gatherings to write cards and collect hygiene items for these young people to let them know they are loved and not forgotten! We were once those kids!!
