Did you know?

– 75-95% of women in prison have a history of childhood physical or sexual abuse.

– Out of of the 230,000+ women who are incarcerated in the US, 75% of them are mothers.

– The lifetime risk for being incarcerated in 36 per 1,000 for black women vs. 5 per 1,000 for white women.

I personally know what going to jail is like. And having a record. I was a teenager at the time. I understand the value of having a

second a chance and what that can get you. I am a living, breathing, testimonial of what a true support system can result in. And

it’s really important to me to support the advocacy of incarcerated or previously incarcerated females in their journeys to living

out their true purpose. Truth Be Told is an Austin based non-profit organization, that aims to provide transformational,

trauma-responsive programs for women who are or have been incarcerated to promote healing and empowerment, and break the

cycle of incarceration for themselves, their families and their communities.

Our hearts are broken for the trauma that leads to and keeps people in the cycle of self destruction.
