The current racial justice movement has magnified calls to defund the police, abolish the prison system, and invest in more restorative forms of justice centered on healing, community, humanity--proactively removing barriers. Inasmuch as these conversations may be more top of mind today, the dialogue around criminal justice, school to prison pipeline, prison industrial complex more often than not is centered around the experiences of Black men. Yet, Black women, Black girls, Black mothers are also disproportionately impacted by these same systems.

We can’t begin to fully understand, much less solve for these complex issues if we’re not amplifying the voices and perspectives of those most impacted by them. That is what this conversation is about—amplifying. Amplifying the experience, the humanity, the journey of Claudia Shivers. Claudia shares more on her experience at a federal facility during COVID-19 and heightened racial tensions, the impact of incarceration on family and generational trauma, and how she is currently using her freedom to serve her community and those previously incarcerated through The Freedman’s Bureau.

Co-Hosted by: Brittany J. Harris, VP Learning & Innovation & Chevara Orrin, Principal Strategist
