Daughters Beyond Incarceration grew out of the life experience of co-founder and executive director Dominique Johnson, whose father has been behind bars her entire life. The New Orleans-based nonprofit’s mission is to help Black girls with incarcerated parents live healthy, stable lives and have strong, positive relationships with their parents during and after incarceration. Johnson joins us to discuss DBI’s work, along with Troy Hankton, one of the dads who experienced parenting from behind bars, and his daughter, Troyny’ah Hankton Listen to this episode from Louisiana Considered: https://lnkd.in/gkSjUCbs

We continue to work with our youth advocates to think of ways to ensure they’re equequitably supported. The Kresge Foundation has worked to ensure youth advocates in #NewOrleans thrive! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
“About 1 in 7 kids in Louisiana experience parental incarceration, nearly four times the national average,” says Dominque Jones-Johnson, MSHRE, founder of Daughters Beyond Incarceration. “DBI believes those closest to the problem can be the solution. Since May 2018, we’ve mentored more than 70 girls impacted by parental incarceration in New Orleans by turning pain into purpose through organizational programming and policy initiatives.” Learn more about their work:
